I think that Boris or Sam started logging for me :) as I don't remember putting this up, but it's good incentive to post again. I borrowed Sam's Garmin for the race, but didn't take splits. Also, I round these times down, because 9:18 sounds better :)
The exercise du jour was a 3k race at the indoor track in Västerås. This counted as the District Champs and had a pretty good group of 9 guys running, all aiming between 8:30 and 9:30 for their times.
My goal was 9 flat, but I was aware that I haven't been doing any track work this winter, and so it would be a fight to make it in that time.
I had the farthest outside starting position, but I didn't want to go out too fast, so that was just fine. Mats and Henrik were just hammering right from the start, but I was a little better paced. Still too fast on the first 400, but came through the 1k in 3:02 which was on track. The second 1000 was ended in 6:09, and also Jonatan passed me. I pushed hard, but my legs just didn't want to go quicker. Pleased with the 9:18 finish time, but this does mean that I need to run a few more 3k time trials to work my way under the 9 minute mark.
