Stromlo Time Trial 5000m 16:58
Pre-dawn 5000m Time Trial on the bitumen criterium track at Stromlo. Weather cold, 4 degrees, light winds from the north east. I had to run very early to avoid cyclists who have also been training early. I used the full 1300m loop that included an extended hill. After seeing how poor my splits were I reverted to the shorter 950m loop for the final 2km to the finish.
Splits(500m):1:41,1:42,1:42,1:44,1:42,1:43,1:41,1:41,1:42,1:36=16:58. That's seven 16:something 5km time trials since Parkrun stopped due to Covid on the 12th August. I expect Parkrun will resume again soon along with track racing. Best time to train in summer is early. The early morning runs will continue. Next set on Saturday morning at Stromlo XC circuits, a mix of short and long intervals.
