A good soaking!

I knew my luck and the dry weather couldnt hold forever. I got good'n'wet on my run today, but because it wasnt at all cold it was still a very pleasant run. The orignal aim of the run was to cover the 21Km in zone 1. But as I reached the halfway point I wondered how hard it would be to bring it in under 2 hours. I continued to run the third quater steady but then stepped it up to 5 min pace for the last quater with the aim of getting a feel for the pace and also to get home in close to the 2 hour mark. Therefore the run consisted of 1:44 OD training and 20min endurance running.

Total Time (h:m:s) 2:06:42 6:00 pace
Moving Time (h:m:s) 2:06:29 6:00 pace
Distance (km) 21.06
Moving Speed (kph) 10.0 avg. 14.9 max.
Elevation Gain (m) +216 / -216
Avg. Heart Rate 151 bpm Zone 2.6
Temperature (°C) 11C avg. 11C high
Wind Speed ( kph) E 20.4 avg. E 22.2 max.

The average heart rate is deceptive as there is a step change over the last quater of the run.
