Event: WA Long Distance Championships
 

Bugger.

Longest run since the 2006 LOST run to Cape Leeuwin. Not completely recovered from intervals two days ago, which is a bad sign leading into the next couple of weeks. Couldn't get any speed going. Not injured though, which is a real plus. Not yet anyway.

Naremburn. 1kmX4. Stopped the watch instead of lapping, so only recorded 3. Thought I could recover the first lap by using the time stamp in the tcx/gpx file - but no, the file shows a massive 200m jump in 1 second, and the total time as per the time stamp as only 33 minutes instead of really 37. So Garmin's "time stamp" isn't a real time stamp at all.
Also the distance was a bit short: I started and finished at the same place each time, Garmin estimated that +/-13m, which is normal and expected, but still well short of 1000m at around 960. So I've recalculated the laps to the 1k pace. Phew.
3:36, 3:38, 3:34, 3:36.

Easy run, legs a bit tired.

Note (one for the Blair-o-files) - Sunday was my 42nd championship age group run and its only the second time I've finished in third place (the other was Easter 2000 behind the McCombs).

Pulled up pretty well from the weekend, physically at least.
