Parkrun Coombs #50 17:25, 2nd
Saturday morning Parkrun at my home course of Coombs. Weather cool to warm, cloudy, light winds, ideal conditions. I was delighted to see young Daniel (M20-24)at the start line who has been running under 17 minutes in recent weeks. His first run here on this newish course, I did my best to guide him to the turn around. He eased away in the second half running 16:56, 150m ahead in 17:25. It was 2 seconds slower than my PB on the course.
Splits were really good (16:40 pace) until hitting the hill at 3km on the way home, gravel and the dead turn 500m from the finish and final climb there slowing what could be something a lot quicker.
Splits: 1:38,1:44,1:40,1:37,1:41(turn),(hill)1:51,1:47,1:41,(dead turn)1:51,(hill)1:44,0:06. I spent 95% (16:38)of the run in Zone 5 with a flat line heart rate of 170bpm. All but the very start of the run and dead turn.
Helen, Carol, Steve and Sanji (border collie) were all there too. Steve did a big set at Stromlo before warming down with the dog. We warmed down back at Stromlo and grabbed a coffee.
