25k LSD, merged route

Mission accomplished!

Run started abt 5:17am. Run buddy cancelled. So, solo run it is. Usual 7min run, 1 min walk Galloway method.

Budgeted was 24k. Mapped shows 25k (give or take Queensbay guesswork). Route here. Route sees merging of LSD route & Technoplex Loop.

E-gate to Technoplex loop: 1hr 38min 26 sec
Technoplex loop to finish : 1 hr 42min 13sec
Not bad, 2nd half slowed down only by 4mins.

Total time 25k: 3hr 20min 39sec

Outbound re-water breaks at Queensbay nasi kandaq (100 plus), office (plain water).
Inbound re-water breaks at Seagate stalls (minearal water) & Queensbay nasi kandaq again (100 plus).

Post run wt 148.2. Two days overdid the carbo loading. Too much eating, haha!
Post run legs - surprisingly OK. Left foot not as twangy.

Conclusion - can register for Malakoff 26k. But cannot meet 3:10 qualifying time. Have to settle for finishing before 3:40 race bungkus time.

Next week: taper down to 14k LSD before Malakoff 26k.
