Running ('Hilly' 70min) 1:10:15 [2] 14.6 km (4:49 / km) +366m 4:17 / km
shoes: Vivo Barefoot Black
Went to long bay cutting through a bit of the development and through the bush near home to get that 'hilly' feel. Came back along the coast picking a route with a lot of sharp climbs to try and make the run as savage as possible.
Bit dubious about doing 70mins in barefoot shoes on only my second run in them! But was ok, only issue is my toes bumping the end of the shoe on steep downhills. I suspect this may be a sign I'm still braking a little hard on these - and therefore my foot is slipping forward. 3 days off road for feet to recover, then I'll experiment trying to really let go on a couple of downs. A tough transition still ahead!

Note
Going to do the Auckland Middle tomorrow - a long way to go so I just entered the least tiring race to make sure I'm still getting some O race practice in without effecting training too much. Kinda mad they couldn't choose somewhere closer...
