Did the haynes classic with some pretty speedy guys from the running club. The pace started around 8 and slowly dropped until probably about 6:40. Then going up lloyd hill we chilled a bit but not as much as I wanted. My left leg for some reason was feeling yesterday's workout more than I would have liked it to. I was planning on a tempo workout of 4x2km right at 6min pace tomorrow but I might just coach the workout and run easy distance afterwards.
