Paul paced it perfectly, he kept pulling me back! 🤣 it was tough because people I thought should be behind were ahead but we got most of them and a couple of others as well.
Came in 23 seconds under the target. Which was good because I thought I might struggle. Especially when we turned and the heat was beating down on me!
Good news tho vo2 max has returned to 47.
Smashed it. A great example of what good pacing can do. But you are the one who ran the race so deserve who credit. And this was off the back of a week where I think you were struggling a little. I think in past years you may have let the demons get to you, but you seem mentally stronger now, so even when you are a little down you can dig deep. That’s something to be really proud of. Old you would be so impressed with 2026 Lou. Perhaps the diet this week effected the mood as well? Congrats on the PB though Lou. And no worries on the cool down, you certainly were not the only one and had pts in the bank anyhow.
