Hi TheEd
Smashed my PB today by 2 mins and 10 seconds! Official chip time 40:20. I was pacing pretty much bang on the target 4 minute Kms according to my Garmin, which I was relying on as there were no km markers. There were 4 laps of the course and I noticed I went through 2.5km, 5km and 7.5kms slightly earlier than the start/finish line but it was a bit difficult to judge and I left a bit too much to do on the last lap. It was a max effort though and I don't think I could have got sub 40 on that course today (although I did do 39:57 according to the Garmin!!).
Splits as below (Garmin):
Km / time / AV HR
1 / 4:03 / 153
2 / 4:03 / 164
3 / 3:59 / 167
4 / 4:01 / 169
5 / 3:57 / 169
6 / 3:58 / 171
7 / 4:00 / 173
8 / 4:01 / 174
9 / 4:01 / 175
10/ 3:55 / 176
Lap times (chip):
1 / 10:11
2 / 10:04
3 / 10:04
4 / 10:00
Very happy with the result and split consistency, and gives me confidence that I should be able to (officially) go sub-40 soon, as it did feel like quite a jump from the previous PB of 42:30.
Many thanks for all your coaching to date and here's to more PBs falling this year!
Cheers
