Felt a bit tired for the first 20 minutes but got going pretty well after that.

Nice easy run around KP. Perfect conditions.

Lake Jualbup time trial. A bit short of time so warm up was just the 4 minute run to the lake. I knew the first lap would be slow because I wasn't really warmed up but I was hoping it would be close to 5:30 (5:30.1). Next lap was feeling a bit stronger so I hoped it would be down near 5:15 (5:15.8). Felt I was starting to tire a bit and my heart rate alarm went off briefly so I thought the next lap would be more like 5:20 (5:20.6). Pushed a little harder on the last lap so thought it should be back under 5:20 but didn't feel as fast as 5:15 (5:17.8). Forced myself to keep jogging at the end and jog all the way home as my heart doesn't seem to like sudden stops. No issues at all with the heart during or after the run.

Nice to get through a hard run without any heart issues to get a proper indication of my current fitness. Really felt like a proper all out time trial this time. Maybe could have knocked off 10 or 15 seconds by doing a better warm up but that is about all.

Easy run in KP. Heart was twitchy the whole way but no sustained arrhythmia. As usual as soon as I stopped the heart rate started jumping up over 170 on and off for the next half an hour with associated headaches, dizziness and chest pain.
The run itself was actually quite nice.
