Consistency..

Customs #88

if it's possible it was even windier than yesterday (actually similar figures - 30-35kph, gusts up to 54kph - but it felt windier, probably because I was trying to race)...rounding Regatta Point on the way out I felt like I'd hit a brick wall...I swear I was running backwards at one point...I don't know how the birds coped!

basically it was a headwind for most of the way out and, therefore, a tailwind on the way back...I also got whacked with an extra 1:45 handicap time after coming second last week (out to 11:45)...

despite the conditions managed to improve by a MASSIVE 1 second on last week

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 15.6/41%
start time: 12:29pm
total distance: 5.02
total time: 24:37
avg pace: 4:54
total calories: 396
avg/max HR*: 170/186

*Time spent in HR Zones:
00:00 [Z1: 93-111]
00:20 [Z2: 111-130]
00:03 [Z3: 130-148]
03:37 [Z4: 148-167]
20:48 [Z5: 167-185]

even better is the fact Ewen might like these splits (not that I had a choice!):

1k splits: 5:02, 5:12, 5:00, 4:45, 4:37 (!)

I'm feeling even more positive about C2S now...!!

If I didn't know how windy it was, I'd say those splits are brilliant.

If we get a north-westerly like that on Sunday it'll be perfect.
