run (Lightpole Gwelup) 46:13 [4] 11.73 km (3:56 / km) +70m 3:49 / km
shoes: Saucony Cortana
Had preemptively decided to just get the lot, regardless of how long it took, then had my torch battery fall off the headband in the first 500m and spent the next little while trying to fix it, running past a critical path for my route and adding some distance to what was always going to be a hard task. Was pretty grumpy by now, but channeled it into pushing hard, determined to get something out of the session.
Up the north end of the map, my torch flicked off while I was running through a park and I faceplanted in a drainage ditch while I was trying to get it fixed. Dropped my punchcard here too, but couldn't be bothered going back to look for it.
Felt like I had dropped into a hardish but sustainable rhythm by here, which was a bit disappointing. I also figured out that I had buckley's of getting home in time so tried to pick it up a bit, but never quite hit that hard effort that I can manage when I don't have to think a bit at the same time.
Ended up 1:13 late. Would have been close if the torch hadn't fallen apart :(
