A massive turnout this morning at Graham Reserve for some 1km reps. At the starting line were Erika, Darren, Jamie, Quentin, Burkey, Tim, Justin, Emma, Charlie - and Tom (who came fashionably late after our first rep). It was so nice having both Quentin and Tom to share the lead with - it really saves some mental energy not having to look at GPS and worry about pacing. Unfortunately the famous white line used for the cricket field has been replaced by two soccer fields - so the accuracy of the 400m lap was not 100%. Although having run it a fair few times, I have a pretty good idea of the line to follow. If anything, each rep was just over one kilometer. We mixed it up, doing the odds anticlockwise, the evens clockwise. This confuses the GPS generally, with the former under-reading, the latter over-reading. Nevertheless, it's fair to say that the reps were in the low 3:00 range. Each rep generally started with Quentin going out strong, me sitting his tail, with Tom kicking through at about 400m, then myself trying to bring it home for the last 200m. Felt great throughout, finishing the session with some left in the tank - the perfect way to complete this session. Actually wanted to do a final rep with most of the others, but stuck to Gary's plan. A nice cool-down saw more laps of Graham Reserve before running back home. Just under 16km all up. A beautiful looking day ahead!
Got out just before lunch for an easy 30 minute run. 6.5km at 4:36's.
Nice Lewis. All set to smash out the 10km on the weekend.
