Not Parkrun Stromlo in the Dark 5000m 17:16
Pre-dawn 5000m Time Trial at Stromlo in 17:16. My first early morning run at Stromlo in a while. I forgot about daylight savings starting a week ago and how that would affect light. There was no moon, great look at the stars, cold enough(+1c)to wear two tops and gloves with light winds. After a 6km warm up including lots of strides I got into the time trial in the dark. I couldn't see my watch, had no idea how I was tracking throughout, felt cold but strong, reality was a little slower than I imagined. The splits showed I didn't get warmed up until 2km if at all.
Splits(500m):1:47,1:42,1:44,1:43,1:42,1:42,1:43,1:42,1:42,1:39. All up 17km for the morning including warm down, 120km for the week. Next set on Saturday morning with XC intervals at Stromlo.
