Hi Ed,
Race day today! The weather forecast had been high all week and indeed it was scorching hot come race time. The starting time was postponed till 17:30 but it was still 30c. There were extra water points, all pacers added 5 mins to their race time and quite some starting numbers weren't picked up. Any thought of a PB could be let go off, and we just had to endure the circumstances and enjoy the race. It was very, very tough! But in the end, we were all glad we finished in these tough conditions.
Here are my splits, not consistent but this wasn't a normal day.
4:36
4:45
4:44
4:55
5:04
5:04
5:12
5:18
5:10
5:04
For a time of 49:53. Actually quite happy.
I do want to test myself during normal conditions, and there is another 10k race I will now take part in 13 days from now. Could you advise me on a schedule for this period?
Johan
