12 km with 2 x 6 min @ 20 km pace

I got changed just after midday but needed to complete some work before going out. The lovely sunny day faded by the time I went out at 2:30 pm. I was glad that I ditched my sunglasses and left my long sleeved top on.

There was a strong southerly wind blowing which both hindered and helped my pace. I started out at an easy pace and left my fast stints until I turned to have the wind at my back. The weather was closing in fast so there was a strong incentive for me to keep up a good pace.

At one point hail stones started to fall but thankfully they stopped before I had to endure any pain.  I was pleased with my time of 1:19:09 for an average pace of 6:35. I couldn't find my heart rate monitor strap this morning. It is probably still in the car from Sunday's walk.

My two fast legs gave me kms of 6:10 and 5:56 (wind assisted), somewhat faster than 20 km pace.
