Canberra Times Fun Run 10.1km

Weather 20-25kph headwind almost entire race made for some slow times out there. At least it wasn't raining like yesterday where virtually everything was flooded. Chris won in 30:11 by 2:19, only 4 runners under 33 and 6 under 34.

Results: Me: 35:43 1st M50, Keith 37:52 2nd M50, Helen 46:20 2nd W50, Kathy 49:20 2nd W60, Minnie 55:27 14th W55, Jack 42:52 8th M16, Consie 80:46 8th W70

Keith had the run of the day of us. His splits: 3:45, 3:45, 3:47, 3:49, 3:50, 3:48, 3:40, 3:40, 3:41, 3:42 +108m 0:24. Very consistent splits running in a pack most of the run and mixing it with the top 4 women who had a battle royale.

Of me: I was tired from the gun again...fatigue from overtraining last 4 weeks. Splits were promising early 3:18, 3:09 before I got isolated into the wind and had a big fade out. All my fault.

Next session Tuesday with some 5000m paced XC intervals. Following that 7 weeks of race preparation sessions. Volume won't matter during that period, I'll be just going from session to session. More on that later.
