Fastest Park Loop of 2007

Park Loop in 19:27.

I stood at the Start Line not in the mental mood to run another fast one like yesterday, but something in the back of my mind was saying, "go on, give it a go."

So, I gave into this niggling thought and began the Park Loop at a good pace:


Times compared with yesterday:

00:52 (-1) at 250 metres;
01:57 (-3) at 500 metres;
04:00 (-4) at 1 km;
06:36 (-4) at 1 mile;
08:11 (-4) at 2 kms;
09:11 (-4) at the halfway mark;
11:49 (-5) at the Pewterspear Garden Path (2,800 metres);
15:21 (-3) exiting the Pewterspear Garden Path;
19:27 (-3) at the finish.


I'll be honest, had I gone even one second behind at any checkpoint, I would have very likely dropped off the pace completely. This never happened, so I continued through the mental pain barrier as indicated by my HRavg of 170 and HRmax of 180.
