shoes: Asics Gel Noosa-Tri11
Trim AC - 6.2km Tempo.
Started off with 2 big laps of the park before training to bulk the distance a bit. Then jog to Supermacs to start. Got asked if I was a new member of the Couch 2 5km group........talk about knocking an ego! John was about so was hoping he would split the work and we could push on in the wind and rain. After ~600m I was alone by maybe 20m. 11:25 would have been a new Strava record for the segment but we were standing inside the segment area by a few metres before we stared. At the turn John was only ~150m back on the turn. Everyone was very strung out when I was on the way back. 11:09 back so got the pacing pretty well. Bit of a chat as people rolled in before they started doing static stretching in the rain after. I remembered a Donie-ism: "Have you ever seen a race horse stretch?" and was getting a bit cold so jogged with Heather and Michael back to the cars. Quick change into a thermal top, jacket and my head torch before another lap of the big park loop before heading home.
