BBQ Stakes #70 (reverse #16)...

decided to ride this morning as it didn't appear to be as windy or as cold as yesterday...bad choice I think!

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 6.5/60% (apparent temp 3.6)
start time: 8:07am
total distance: 16.60
total time: 43:12 (including 0:03 stopped time)
avg speed: 23.1kph
total calories: 351
avg HR: 125

I'm not sure if I should blame the wind for being so slow!

the rabbit ventured out of her burrow for today's run and boy did she go!

it was very windy and she had the usual 16:15 head start....the smallest I could close the gap was 2:27 as she ran a PB (first time below 45) AND was first eligible across the line in 8th...her first win from 20 starts...I haven't managed one from 70!

this was my slowest run on the reverse couse...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 10.1/49% (apparent temp 6.9)
start time: 12:31pm
total distance: 6.03
total time: 31:08
avg pace: 5:10
total calories: 432
avg HR: 150
TE: 3.6
recovery HR: 110/51
BPK: 775

splits: 5:11, 5:39, 5:28, 5:19, 4:56, 4:30, 0:07

I'm not looking forward to the ride home either...
