Solid lap of KP sort of with Rachel. Rachel took off as soon as we got to KP and I wasn't ready to go that fast that early so I struggled along behind, slowly dropping back for the first few minutes and then slowly catching up again. Once I did catch up I felt as though I should keep the effort going so pushed on ahead. Another runner turned onto the path in front of me at the Next Gen entrance and he was going just a little slower than me so I felt I had to go past but expected he would lift the pace when I did so I had to speed up a bit to avoid the indignity of the repass. This is why I was hitting around 3:40/km when I ran past Jan, Alan and Moreen at Hale Oval. After cresting the hill I turned off, partly to check if the Subiaco tennis courts were still open and partly to stop myself from continuing to push the pace too much. I knew the courts must have been closed when I got close and saw two people hitting a tennis ball back and forth in the car park with nobody on the courts.
