Striders Lane Cove 10K.

SATURDAY 4/6/06, 7AM, 11K (1K warmup plus 10K race), WEEK TO DATE 37.5k, 5 HOURS SLEEP

Up really early for a long drive to Lane Cove for the Striders 10K- only the second one since September 2005. The extra 15 minutes hitting the snooze button at 4.30am cost me a decent warmup, only got in 1K beforehand. Was hoping for a 45 minute run, it was humid and about 9 degrees, a contrast to the night before when Mel and I ate dinner at Blackheath with snow falling outside.

Started out with Podrunner for the first 4K or so, not doing so well on the uphills, finally got around in 46.19.

Splits
3K (first 2K markers had been removed) 13.48
4K 4.41 (18.29)
5K 4.56 (23.26)
6K 4.31 (27.57)
7K 4.41 (32.38)
8K 4.41 (37.20)
9K 4.43 (42.04)
10K 4.15 (46.19)

Not that happy really. Three months till Glasshouse and need to get serious.

God to see you make the effort and come down!

There is a West Met at Smithfield Saturday afternoon if you are after another 10km and it is closer to home ;)
