6.99km (7km TT)...

The last bash before Sunday.

An attempt at a Time Trial over 7km. I thought that if I could get down to about 33 minutes (I did the 7km Bay Run in 33:27, two weeks ago) then I'd be on target for below 75 minutes for City to Surf.

However, I started off too fast. First 2kms were 4:24 and 4:25 (each km should have been about 4:43). I paid for that after half way. Ended up with 34:45! The lesson is...

I find it difficult to pace myself for City to Surf. The terrain is so uneven and the crowds can have an affect for the first few km. I think I'll try to hit 5:00 - 5:20 per km to start with, then see how it goes.

Plenty of rest now, plenty of carbs and plenty of water.

See you on Monday for the conclusion!
