After a slow, slow, slow warm up I started a series of 6X800 on a uphill section of the road completely in the shade, I traded the uphill with cooler temperatures and somehow it worked. To recover I jogged down the hill for the same distance. During the warm up I ventured in the full sun and at 9:00 was already unbearable. These were my splits uphill 3:19, 3:15, 3:16, 3:11, 3:14, 3:13 AP 3:14. The first three were controlled because after last night slow run I had doubts I could go fast but with the perspective of just three left I was really comfortable going faster. A couple of easy kms to bring the temperatures down.
