I was uncomfortable on my bike right from the start today. I was also lacking a little in motivation so I broke my ride up into 'legs', such as each loop (I did Haydon Dve loop x 2 followed by the Coulter Dve loop x 1); then from home out to Barton Highway; etc. I mentally ticked off each leg as I completed them, along with a "yay!" and pumped my fist in the air - anyone following me would've thought I'd gone mad! Anyway it seemed to help. The weather was perfect with very little breeze - usually I'm battling a stiff headwind at some stage.
I was very tired this afternoon. When we were having a coffee at the Mall I could've so easily fallen asleep at the table. I had a 2hr 'nap' later today.

Wow CJ - I did the same session as you and it took me nearly 9 mins longer!! Obviously my very old legs are even more tired than yours - hope they can run 40km tomorrow! Tired legs don't seem to slow you down at all. See you for lunch tomorrow at BP - can't wait.
Oh CJ you are not slow at all, tired, you say...
Great you find your sunnies, thanks now I know!
I keep wondering how your beggining times were, I hope once when you have time you write something about it, when was that, why... how.
At this moment I am doing all my runs easy, that's why I am enjoying so much.
Thanks for all your comments!!
That's why I'll never do an IM - the nap requirement is too high. I couldn't imagine doing more/longer naps than I did for 6'.
How do you run like that, whoa!
Great pace there CJ!!! PLenty of speed I would guess :-)
Lucky about the sunnies :-)
3 weeks today... **grins**
