Noon Run & 10k depletion

First big news, I've registered for Malakoff 26k. This will be the first race of the year.

Next, just to record the week's workout.

Thursday noon - group run, 7.6k, from Technoplex loop to Jerejak seafront. Route map here. Time = about 50 mins. Group run to join expatriate Big Boss on his last lunch hour run before he ends his tenure & goes back home.

Friday after work 10k at Technoplex loop (5 laps). Fast 5k, then panchit. Too panchit that had to take walk breaks in the last 3k. Not helped at all that I had skipped lunch, so no reserve energy. At the end, all depleted.

Timing as follows:

Lap 1a -- 5:50 --- 5:50 --> 1km
Lap 1b -- 5:29 -- 11:19 --> 2km (oops too fast)
Lap 2a -- 5:41 -- 17:00 --> 3km
Lap 2b -- 5:39 -- 22:39 --> 4km
Lap 3a -- 5:43 -- 28:22 --> 5km PR!
Lap 3b -- 6:24 -- 34:46 --> 6km
Lap 4a -- 6:29 -- 41:15 --> 7km
Lap 4b -- 8:05 -- 49:20 --> 8km, too panchit, walk break
Lap 5a -- 7:15 -- 56:35 --> 9km, walk break again
Lap 5b -- 7:40 -- 1:04:15 --> 10km (below par)

Post-run weight breached 145 (yaay!). Was 144.6 thereabouts.

Tomorrow LSD target is 14k. Normal route, E-Gate to Queensbay (Intel Roundabout) and back. This will be "taper down" LSD before next week's Malakoff 26k.

And that's it. Over and out.
