First Pain for a couple of weeks, and first shot at Group 2 for what felt like ages! Probably about 6-7 weeks what with all the marathon training, tapering, recovering…
Met Tim and Roly and jogged up to the start on a warm day with no wind. Air temp was probably only 22/23 but if felt warmer, especially around Farm Cove.
Started strongly and felt ok all the way to G2G where the pace just felt too quick and I had nothing in the legs to kick the final 250m, Tim easily taking it out followed by myself and Roly. Felt strong from then on, leading the recovery up to the Art Gallery hill. Tim must have used all his energy in the G2G as he didn’t take out the penultimate sprint which is usually his domain.
By this time I had done my bit and just jogged home, happy to let Tim and Roly go head to head for the final dip, Roly taking it by a nose.
Time: 28.46
HR: 153 (Ave) / 176 (max)
G2G: 2.35
