10+20k BRRC

An offer to run with a few guy's before a race was an opportunity not to be missed.
It was so nice to be able to chat with these guy's and get some running tips hints and share a few stories. I was happy with their easy pace and the last few K's back the pace picked up a bit. All up a nice 10.15k at 5:19/k pace. About 6 mins to change shirt get in a drink and we were off again. The first lap I took real easy and got a bit of fluid into me. I was in no rush and my goal pace was 5:30 so no stress or pushing. But on the second lap I upped the pace for half a lap and it felt good but the humidity was affecting me and the sweat was pouring off. I stopped a few times on the third lap to get about 3-4 cups of water down and that seemed to help but my shoes were already wet and a few runners commented on my squelching shoes. The last k I pushed one lady along and was happy to finish strong. All up 20.23k at 5:35/k pace.
So for a 30k long run it was good and although I was disappointed with my 20k time I was happy overall. I really enjoy these trips out to Brizvegas and mingle with runners.
Tonight rest then Tuesday back into the swing.
Take care.
