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).
