Otago 10,000m Champs. Super hot, 26 degrees, but probably more on the track. Just sat in behind Tim and Aaron, making sure to relax, stay on the rail and keep putting water on myself. Felt really cruisy, been used to going must faster. After about 5km I started to struggle holding the pace, just hadn't done any tempo runs or interval sessions of that length. Slowly dropped off as the heat got to me and suffered through the second half to end up 3rd. Official time 36:41 but they accidentally made us run an extra lap after finishing... not happy. Bit disappointing I couldn't hold onto Aaron as I beat him in the 3k last week.

Last session on the track, just a short one before Saturday. Did 3x1200, the first 1000m in 3:30 and then 200m quite hard. Times were 4:01, 4:02 and 3:59. Felt ok, but struggled to sit on exactly 3:30, always seemed to be on 3:20 pace or 3:40 pace. Just a few more jogs before Otago 10,000m champs, definitely going to feel way too long and way too hot.
