Thanks Paul, I noticed that too. I was wondering if I should enter my score today while writing the report but then decided to do it right away. Good choice I'd say
So I had my fourth go at this month's ctc. On the one hand I had done some decent training since my last attempt, on the other hand I had a quite intense
visit of the Okoberfest in Munich on Sunday which was still in my body (in my head to be precise). I hadn't seen my good friend Alan for quite a while because he's 25m ahead of me in this challenge so the plan was to get anywhere near his pace of 1:51.6. My pace from last time was 1:52.6 so I tried to stick to a 1:53 pace as long as possible and see if there's anything left for a finish sprint:
02mins. / 1:52.9 / 28 / 167
04mins. / 1:52.7 / 28 / 170
06mins. / 1:52.5 / 29 / 176
08mins. / 1:52.1 / 29 / 180
10mins. / 1:50.9 / 31 / 184
Total: 2672m / 1:52.2 / 29
There was no chance of catching Alan today, in fact I was happy to just improve my score, if only by 8m. I seriously considered to h/d with 3 mins. to go but overall pace was at 1:52.6 at this point, too much energy invested to just give it up. I concentrated on keeping the split below 1:52 to ensure I'd get a new PB for this ctc, not much left for a real finish sprint though.
