2 x 5k

18kms done early with Messi in 4.03s with the main focus being 2 x 5kms which went as follows:

1st set - 17.19 (3.28 average)
2nd set - 17.44 (3.33s)

In a word this was tough. After the first set the HR was already at 170 which is quite high for me and never properly recovered for the 2nd set. Managed to swing it for the 6th and 7th ks but then the mojo went running solo and battling the wind with Messi now 10 seconds ahead. Managed to pull the 10th back to a 3.30 but a little disappointed not to nail the 2 x sub 17.30s which was the plan.

In hindsight I should have paced the initial set a little slower and not bottled the 8/9 ks but another decent session done. The wind cost us a few seconds per lap too.

Messi super strong again today with his metronome style knocking out 2 x sub 17.20s (his plan).

Lukie had an inset day so enjoyed having him for company. One on one time is a joy!

Lastly, a quick congrats to Ben Streck' who ran a stomping negative split to run a 2.46 marathon on the Gold Coast last night. Nothing short of heroic!
