Striders 10k - North Head - 38.20

Had friday off and was rested. Pulled up well from Thursday nights intervals and feeling pretty good. Training has been off lately due to still having the remnants of last months flu/stomach upset so wasn't really sure how I would go but I like Nth Head as it is a fast course.

Silverfox gave me a lift today (much appreciated) and we had our usual running/life/kids/wives/work/ type chat which I enjoy as much as the running.

3k T.T during the week suggested 38.45 but I thought I would run about 38.30 and so it was - running 38.20, only 5 secs outside my p.b. Pleased that I ran a comfortable race today and that despite being off form training wise I ran strongly. Last 3 striders 10k times have been 38.22, 38.15, 38.20 - how's that for consistent ?

Looking forward to next Sunday's half - hoping for about 83 minutes.

Some great performances today by others - Silverfox, MPHaz, Themadguz great work guys !

2.5k warm-up, 10k race, 2k cooldown.
Total 14.5k.
