Monthly Handicap at Deeks
Today:
Race distance 8 km plus 2 km warm up
Race time: 42' 20"
Rate: 5' 18" per km
Finished: 89th / 95
Weather: sunny, temp 22 degrees, humidity 30%, wind NW at 30 kmph
Week: 10 km
Sept: 261.85 km
Year: 3648.2 km
Started and didn't finish last, that was always the plan. Definitely no racing, with a dry dusty track and a strong wind blowing against on the way back, I had no chance. CJ failed to front, so I hoped a few others may be going as slow as me.
Changed course to an out and back, downhill for the first km or so, then flat to the turn, and a struggle for the last 4 km. That km rate above is flattering, 1st km downhill with wind behind was 4'16" pace, the last 2 kms at well over 6 min pace. Even CJ going slow would have been faster.
I have also put C2K back on the plan, recovery is going better than I expected, another 2 weeks and all should be fine. Brindie will taken easy, then up the training as per a plan I got from Martin Fryer late last year.
A man that can cover 393 km in 48 hours must know what he is talking about.

C2K back on?! You've forgotten the pain of GH already?
If he can run that far in 48 hours he must have a good psychiatrist ;)
Good prediction about CJ not showing.
