Short Week

Took things easy-ish this week as I was saving myself for the Lane Cove 10km this morning and I need not have bothered.
Did 11kms on Wednesday and it felt good at roughly 4.30 pace. Missed the start of the Hurts session but manage to catch them at Potts Point and then dropped off at Fox Studios to come back. Perfect timing for the rain with only a slight drizzle when we got into Centennial. Stats for Wed are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/292622430
Were not quite so lucky with the weather on Thursday for the Rushcutters Pyramid session which started to bucket down as we left the art gallery. decent crwod of around 20 despite the conditions and we had to run around the outside of the oval as the grounds were shut. Couse was just shy of 500m with plenty of puddles - took it very easy in the third group and managed to hold roughly 3.55 pace for the session and was able to speak/breath easily for the set.

A pitch black start to the Lane Cove run this morning and perfect weather conditions - about 16/17C and dry although there had been quite a lot of rain last night. Did not do what I wanted on a what is a hilly 5kms going out and a fast 5kms coming back - course is a beautiful run through the trees and alongside the Lane Cove river and would certainly want to go for this again. Just need to get some hill fitness into the legs. All up I reckon around 39.30 will be the gun time and garmin showed a 39.22 as I crossed the line. Some great Hurts results with Barts second to some olympic athlete, Tom 4th, Anna 1st female, a PB to new girl Ellie of 40.36, a very nice 38.40ish for Mike Race especially as he had run 8kms to the start and Emma with a 41.16. Stats are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/294193201 and official time has come through as 39.21 - a first for the garmin to be longer than a gun time!
