St Marys 6.2k plus friggin hot long run!
Today was bloody hot!
Had a fantastic race though
It started at 9am & went 2 laps of a grass track then out on the streets of St Marys.
I came 5th overall & 1st in my age group. I broke the course record for my age group.
It was 6.2k which I ran in 22:22 (3:36 a km)
The heat made it hard. I was coming 3rd at the 3k mark but just couldn't hold on to the pace.
Splits were
2km - 7:01
3km - 3:28
4km - 3:58
5km - 3:23
6.2km - 4:30
I did a 3k warmup then a 4.5k warmdown
After the presentations I set out for my long run.
I went for 18km in 1:29:47. (4:59 akm)
Got swopped by 2 magpies!....lookout there out there!!
When I finished my run it was blowing a gale & was 34 degrees! I was going to run for over 2hrs but it was just too hot!
