SMH PB - 83:08

Mon: Rest
Tue: 12k including 5k @ 3:57 around Manly
Wed: 18k in 5:11 - down to Manly and around Manly Dam looking for Killian - didn't find him ;-(
Thu: 10k easy shelley run in 4:48
Fri: 10k easy shelley run in 5:29 - felt like the tin man
Sat: Rest
Sunday: Half marathon PB of 83:08.

3rd PB in three weeks. Sub50 picked me up at 5:30 and it was cold. We parked at the Domain. I had a Vinnies jacket and throw away gloves so no need for a drop bag. The preferred start was easy. The goal was sub 83. Unfortunately I had my garmin set on auto pause, and it paused under the corkscrew. I therefore thought I was going extremely fast early, when in fact I was behind pace. Realised the error at 5k when I was 20 or so secs behind pace. Never really picked up the time. I would get back on track and then fall behind when a hill would slow me down. Sub50 was with me until about 8k and then dropped off. The section from Hickson to Macquarie St was tough and I couldn't really lift the pace through the Art Gallery section. Just missed out on a sub 83, but it was a ~45 sec PB.

Splits were:

5k - 19:31
10k - 19:36
15k - 19:57
20k - 19:54

Total for the week - 73k in 5.5 hours @ 4:40
