my fingers hurt for the first 15 minutes then went numb and my feet felt like ice blocks the whole way....time to switch to full gloves and extra feet coverings...however my legs weren't too bad but I might have the long pants ready as well...
yesterday's gym session was another good one...
FkF #236 report:
the temperature was perfect although it was a little breezy...no rabbit to chase today as she was, in her own words, being a princess after pulling up a little sore from her run to work yesterday...speedygeoff elected not to run as he's doing the 8k cross country tomorrow...but the lion turned up to run with me after his podium effort in the Marysville2Melbourne last Sunday...
the handicapper had added 15secs to my start after I finished inside 36:30 (gross) last week so I was off 14:45, just in front of the bunch of Craig W, Richard M, Peter C and (someone else I can't remember)...
Tim chatted away about the M2M event and I managed to fill in some gaps with more than grunts as I pushed hard...I didn't look at my watch again to get splits and just concentrated on reeling in those that had started ahead of me...Tim chimed in with the occasional tip/word of encouragement...
I was surprised to cross the line with the clock at 36:33, a net time of 21:48 - 3 seconds quicker than last week, ranking #4 out of 236 FkFs...my current sub 23 streak now stands at 8...would be good to knock another 14+ seconds off to set a FkF PB...looking at my splits, I need to work harder in the last k or so...
footy is on tomorrow, 10am at Football Park v reigning premiers Eastlake, so I'll be doing my long run on Sunday...this also means no golf this week although I might get some caching in!
