Perfect weather for a race...well maybe a touch cool, but far far better than last year.  I felt great in the first couple of miles, but when I tried to consolidate I was unable to create any real turnover speed.  All I could do was maintain the effort.  I gave it everything, but it wasn't there today.

Speed workout at the track with the group.  1 x 2000, 3 x 1000 & 4 x 400s.  Felt good, but we actually stuck to the game plan, i.e. 2000 @ MGP,, 1000s at HMGB and 400s at 5K pace...with the last one a bit of a gut buster.

Splits were:

2,000 - 9:05

1,000s - 4:21, 4:16, 4:04

400s - 1:32, 1:32, 1:31 & 1:14

Then it was time to stagger back to the gym.
