Customs..

another big turnout with a handful of new faces...

just crossed the pedestrian bridge from the pool in time to see Jodie start - sprinted down to the junction of the 2 paths to cheer her on!

three new guys started with me off 10:30 (more realistic for me) as they were unsure of the way - they were ahead of me after we crossed under Commonwealth Ave bridge!...they'll be starting behind me next time except one who i caught again before the end...

after coming back under the bridge i saw Jodie (started off 4:00) halfway along Regatta Point, i made steady ground and was about 100m or so behind her as she start up the path for the little hill...but it took until about a third of the way on the grass to catch her as i really had to put my foot down!

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 24.8/42%
start time: 12:27pm
total distance: 4.98
total time: 23:47
avg pace: 4:47
total calories: 373
avg.max HR: 173/190
finish temp/humidity: 25.6/42%

1k splits: 4:17, 4:43, 5:00, 5:04, 4:44

FlashDuck was pretty pleased with a 5:30 pace...Jodie ran it in 30:20...

dinner should be good tonight, i plan on trying all the seafood on offer!
