Striders Lane Cove 10K.
SATURDAY 6/8/05, 13K (3K warmup and 10K race), WEEK TO DATE 62K, 4 HOURS SLEEP
A nice 1 degree C at the start. Did a 3K warmup which felt quite good- I was moving a lot more smoothly than yesterday's run.
After the gun I found myself shoulder to shoulder with DJL and jostling with Keith "The Legend" Mayhew, Rocket Rod, Prof and a few others. Got through the first K in good time but lost it a bit from there to the turnaround- aerobically I was fine, legs just didn't quite feel fresh. At the turnaround I was just aiming to try and salvage a sub 42 but I perked up a bit and DJL, Keith, a couple of other dudes and I duelled it out to the end- we all dragged each other through at a solid pace. DJL put about 10 metres into me at about 8K and I just couldn't close the gap all the way to the end. 41.30 finish. Not quite the 41 flat I was thinking was possible, but better than last month and there is more in store.
Splits:
1K 4.02
2K 4.08 (8.10)
3K 4.13 (12.24)
4K 4.07 (16.32)
5K 4.30 (halfway 21.02)
6K 4.13 (25.16)
7K 4.10 (29.26)
8K 4.05 (33.31)
9K 4.10 (37.42)
10K 3.48 (41.30)

Mister G, I'm impressed with the updating of your tables over there >>>
Oh yes, that was a good 10k - well done on a win over 'the legend'.
