10000m track PB

after last night's "trip" I wasn't sure how I'd run tonight but I managed a PB by about 43 secs (official time to be confirmed)...

I was thinking 47 or so and was happy to finish in 47:56.32...conditions were pretty humid (starting temp/humidity was 26 degrees/26%)..also happy to keep all laps under 2:00...

400m splits:
1:50 1:54 1:54 1:53 1:56 - 9:27
1:57 1:58 1:56 1:58 1:57 - 9:46
1:59 1:58 1:58 1:57 1:57 - 9:49
1:59 1:56 1:56 1:56 1:56 - 9:43
1:54 1:53 1:53 1:51 1:38 - 9:09


a groupie arrived in the form of Jodie after her touch footy - I had about 10 laps to go so it was good to have her cheering me on every lap, even running bits of a couple of laps...

I'm back at work tomorrow so will be running Customs...

I've also signed up for a Mountain Bike Clinic which runs on 4 of the next 5 Sunday afternoons to learn the technical skills for riding off-road (and hopefully be able to ride my bike more than run with it in the next AROC race I do!)...first couple of weeks are at Majura Pines (2:30-4:30pm)...

Well done AR. 10k on the track isn't easy when there's not much close competition. Your sprint to beat 48 was impressive!

Nice work on the splits too.
