Sat AM - 6km hard

Had hopes of making the squad training this morning, but a combination of needing sleep, and not being 100% sure of where/when the squad met saw me take a sleep in.

Headed out just before 8:30 and ran from Gladesville to the start of the Bay Run as a warm up (bit over 4.5k). Did some quick drills, and then started the 6k (to the CR 3k marker and back). Didn't feel fantastic at the start, but was moving along okay until I hit the strong headwind at the 1k which really took some effort to maintain any semblance of pace against. Hit the 3k turnaround in 12:03, and seemed locked into 4 min/k pace despite the wind being behind to finish the 6k in 24:03. A little disappointed, would have liked to have been comfortably under 4 min/k pace, but a hard session nonetheless, so it all goes towards building cardio fitness.

Ran back home to Gladesville, a cool down highlighted by seeing Truckie and Aunty K who were returning from playing with their new toys. Uh, bike training...
