Very Wet and Windy Tempo Run

Very depressing weather over the long weekend - very wet and windy so no running in at all. So was kind of looking forward to the Hurts session today. Headed out with Adam and while it was a bit breezy the rain had stopped after some pretty heavy showers all morning. Big crowd gathered for the session which was 10, 10, 10, 10, 5 starting slow, then marathon, half marathon, 10km and finally 5km pace. Turning at 23.5 minutes and aiming to come back in 21.5. Knew it was going to be a tough finish when our slow kms were 4.35 pace and that was really trying to keep Adam on a short leash. Rain started about 3 or 4 minutes into the run and just got heavier and windier, with the conditions on the back of Mrs Macquaries not what you wanted for the hardest part of the run. Pretty happy with 10.72kms in 45.34 and a negative split of 1m 30s but need to work on better pacing. Run stats at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/92301075. Wish I could have had a weather cam added to the Garmin.
