Sunday - 21km run + 30 minutes on the stationary cycle

Went to bed last night planning to get up at half six for a 60 minute row followed by a 60 minute cycle. However, woke up at about 2:30am and decided to set my alarm earlier just in case my Achilles felt up to it. Luckily it did, so met Justin, Ben, Macca, Craig and Hamish at the pool at 6:15am. The plan was to go slow, but I actually felt better with a slightly quicker pace, so ended up running solo from about Brookvale onwards. The others were going further as well. The GPS played up quite significantly, continuously spitting out 4:30 min/km every kilometer, despite variations in perceived effort. The reality of it hit between 9-10km, when it was reading 5:00 min/km pace, and the  kilometer itself was way longer. So turned around just past Bunnings on Pittwater Rd at Narrabeen (well over 10km). The GPS seemed to recalibrate around Long Reef, so the final third of the run was accurate. A few sub-4 minute kilometers towards the end, finishing with a 3:35 along the beachfront. Very happy, mostly because it was the first run where the effort was more painful than the Achilles. In fact, for a large part of the run, I had totally forgotten about it. 21km in 4:20's, although I think it was a bit further and faster than that (probably a blessing is disguise, as I won't get into trouble for running it too fast). Then up to Fitness First in Dee Why for a 30 minute spin on the stationary bike, where I just read the qualifying reports for tonight's upcoming European Grand Prix. Should be interesting! 15km.
