Run race ((street-O)) 52:00 [4] * 10.0 km (5:12 / km)
spiked:16/18c
Street-O at Gardiners Bend. Two hours before the start I wasn't sure this event would be happening; as many of you will have seen, a severe thunderstorm unloaded on the Geelong area in spectacular style (54mm in 30 minutes at Avalon) with major flash flooding, and it wasn't certain whether Melbourne was in the firing line. We did get some rain in the hour before that start, but probably only one-tenth of that amount, and it was easing off by the 7pm start.
The main discovery tonight is that, even if the distances are relatively short, I'm clearly not currently up to running hard five days in a row. Never got into stride, and any hint of a recovery was scuttled mentally when I made a mess of a control about halfway through (went in one street too early and lost maybe 1-1.5 minutes), although my route was a dud anyway. At least I got it all out of the way in the same night. Fading alarmingly in the last 5-10 minutes.
