And it just so happens that I can sleep in - no alarms - no running. I may go for a swim during the course of the day but it will be a slow one if I do!
Tonight I chose to time going to track to take part only in the 5 lap spiral. At 6pm it was far too hot for the 3000m but by 8pm the temperature had cooled right down and it was a lovely time to run. Speedygeoff, Jenny (who was visiting from Sydney for a few days) and I ran an easy 4km warm-up first and that was lovely. Then we took part in the 5 lap spiral handicap at 8.15pm.

Gadalf is Kidding.
ReplyDeleteThe official distance is 2076.03 metres, so you can redo your calculations, and tell Gadalf to do better next time.

ReplyDeleteToday was my scheduled rest day but I have already gone for run, a ride with daughter on the bike, and a swim. I should have done what you did yesterday and actually have a sleep-in - but I can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteThat champers must have tasted great after a hot day too!
