Event: (Badge) Malmalling North
 

Malmalling badge event. 12.1km straight line.
Heart was a bit twitchy on the climb to number 1 so I backed off a bit to try to keep it under control. Still feeling ok heading across to 2 but started rushing things a bit with lots of other people around and feeling the pressure of racing Oscar. Hit a higher clearing and took a long time to work out what I'd done losing about 3 4 minutes, biggest mistake I've made for quite a while. To make matters worse the stress of making a mistake set my heart off again so I couldn't run any of the hills in the easy section following.
Heart finally came good again after the big downhill to 11 and the rest of the course was solid but never really felt strong.
Somehow still managed to finish 20 minutes ahead of Oscar so it seems he does still have a bit to learn.

C • Or maybe 5

Course 1 - Splits

Easy run around the lake with some drills and strides on the north side. Much quieter than Rosalie park.

Easy run in KP. Stayed high as much as possible to keep warm. Feeling ok.

5x1k with 90s rests around the river down past Tawarri and back. Longer jogged recovery before the last effort to get across Hackett Drive. Aiming for about 10k pace but probably went a bit harder than that for most of it. Quite a strong headwind on first couple and tailwind on next two, last one through UWA more sheltered and crosswind. Did it all on the hard surface to try to get my legs a bit more used to it before the marathon.
Surprised how well I seem to have recovered from Saturday.

Easy run in KP.
