10K w/2x5' @15K pace

I felt great for 7 km today, and the last 3km were really slow. Oh well! It happens sometimes. Guess I was a bit tired from yesterday's workout.

The weather was gorgeous - at 6:15 am I wore shorts and a T-shirt and felt fine. It was about 55F (12C) and breezy.

I started off well and felt really good, but when I accelerated for my first 5' at 15K pace, I was surprised that my first 500 was only in 3:04. I think my Garmin must have been off - my HR was high and my pace felt faster than that. My next 500 was 2:56, and that was with the slower part after I finished my 5 minutes fast, so who knows? My next 5' burst seemed better, including one 2:50 interval.

Total for the 10K was 1:03:30 for 6:21/km with ave HR 144.
