Tempo run night, 4k to warm up and I was already wet from the humidity, we had a big thunderstorm right after lunch that left the ground full of water. I started with the tempo shooting for a slower time, between 4:05-4:10/k, hoping that I would be able to sustain it for a 10k, the first 3 k were great, right on pace and easy, then on the next slightly downhill k I realized I couldn't push any faster and I had already reached my top speed, my quads were still useless, next one was slightly uphill and I did a good 4:04 then the last two slightly downhill it was a battle and at km 7 I stopped. I did 7k exactly in 29 minutes, I was hot and my legs were still shot from sunday race. I finished with an easy 5.5k cool down jog back to the car.
