saturday 30th - queens park 6k
September 30th 2006 00:23
21:18 (6:44, 13:58 splits - 6:44, 7:14, 7:20 laps)
damn damn damn. went out so very hard.
felt really good in the first lap, powering along, but slowly started to die as i got to the hill at the end of the first lap and then after that it was gone, just couldnt keep it topgether. just wasnt feeling it.
wonder if im still feeling the effects of a late night and some drinks on wednesday night? i really didnt think i would but my crumbling in the second half of today might indicate i was feeling it. was talking to james and he recons if you're training hard at the same time, it can take extra long to recover from a big night. hmmm... well ive learnt my lesson in any case.
but the first lap also just killed me. if it had been 6:50 or 6:52 it wouldve been interesting, but that extra pace just took it out of me.
still, had a stab at the 20:40 goal time, and think ill get there next time i give it a go, in two weeks, after the camp next week.
and today is still my second best time ever, and i did manage to beat lara (who also said she wasnt running very well) by about 5 or 10 seconds even with my dying as the race went.
i think the couple of days of forced rest (monday and tuesday) due to the hospital operation will let everything settle down before the camp. hopefully.
