Tuesday - Mona fartlek

Not having much luck with the conditions over these past few days, typical for this time of year though. I guess as long as the effort is there, then all is well. And that’s the philosophy I’ve had to take this morning, after a somewhat slower than hoped for session. A very humid morning with a 20 km/hr southerly wind made for far from ‘world record’ conditions. I met Ian up at North Head for a 5:45am start. The advantage with starting early is that we get it over and done with quickly. The twenty minutes was just as hard as usual, finishing with 5.85 km holding 3:25’s. As mentioned earlier, the effort was absolutely there, averaging 166 bpm and maxing out at 177 bpm. So I’m putting it down to the humidity and the wind. We regrouped for a long cool-down via Shelly Beach for 17 km all up.
