50k week

Summer training diary says 50k for this last week (4 days running) after last week's 34 (3 days).

Started with the 1st 3k TT of the year. Thought I'd cruise around in 10.30 but actually felt flat. Turned in 5.15, spot on, but blew out to finish in 10.45. Not too concerned, not much mileage & no speed training to speak of.

Followed it up the next day with an easy 11k Yeronga loop. Still too hot to take Tenzing with me.

Friday back to PCRG for a speed session in the gardens. 2x 4 mins which was longer & better than usual, followed by 4x 2mins (30sec JR) in between.

Sunday joined the mara / tri group for the long run. A new course out past Story Bridge along the river by Norman Park, Hawthorn & Oxford St, Bulimba. Park at the end of the street in 45 mins for a drink. Backstreets on the way back. Some pretty big properties, nice views over to New Farm. Did an extra 5 mins at the end to make the run a bit over 20ks in 1.37. Cooled off in the Southbank pool.
