Alloa Half.
Just for a bit of fun. Tentatively aiming for around 65 but it was pretty windy in the forecast.
Got a bit of a lead at the start so was on my own the whole way. Went through 5 miles in 24.40 feeling pretty good but then turned into the wind. From 5.5 to 9.5 was straight into a very strong headwind and was a bit of a struggle. 65 was off the table as my times dropped by about 15-20s per km for the same effort. There was a Central guy about 150-200m behind so I couldn't let up and the race was a grind from here. Times picked up a bit when the wind abated in the end.
5k splits:
15.23 (not windy)
15.37 (more controlled and windy for the last half mile)
16.50 (very windy)
15.55 (a bit of wind, then a hill)
3.36 (3.03 pace)
