Pleased with the result. Had splits of 1.37 + 1.43 - about 6% increase. The usually accepted increase is 10%. Using my recent training times on a flat course about 3.03 was predicted. I thought the course would be about 20 minutes slower so the end time was a bit faster than guessed. More pleased with the increase of 6% over a hilly course.
The course - 2 laps of the village (flat) - run up and out of the village (shortist steep hill) - about 8 km down the road then back UP the hill - down into the Village anothe rlap then do it all again. The second uphill 8 km was very tiring with at least 6km up hill and the rest flatish. So withthat configration I though the second half would be much slower.
Finished with no injuries but will take the rest of the week off except for the Striders Marathon Group on Wednesday and off course the 5km Challenge on Saturday.
The following week some speed work to sharpen up for the Central Coast Half on the 5th.
