Dicky H came over on a beautiful still morning (about 15C) and we churned out the Manly 10km loops. Started quicker than usual but didn't stop us picking up the pace on the final loop. Kms went as follows:
4:44; 4:10; 4:05; 4:02; 4:03; 4:03; 4:00; 4:07; 4:10; 4:11; 4:08; 4:04; 4:05; 4:01; 4:03; 4:03; 3:59; 4:02; 4:01; 4:07; 3:54; 3:45; 3:48; 3:44; 3:52; 3:47; 3:44; 3:44; 3:43; 3:44.
All up 30km in 1:59:55 (aimed for sub 2 when we saw the clock at 26km) which is 3:59s. Final 10km in 37:45. Definitely feeling stronger over these long runs. Dicky H was pushing all the way and is getting very strong off only 5 consecutive weeks over 2 hour Sunday runs. I reckon he should run for Mayor of Manly. He mush have high-fived every second person we ran past.

Impressive pace for the distance Tom, especially the last 10km. What is your objective for the marathon though next year. You're being a little coy about posting an objective for this race since Dad has never run one.
I reckon you should be aiming for 2:35 personally - what do you think ?
Jamie - no idea really given it's my first one and I'm a bit scared. There will be a large bunch from the HuRT Squad running it so no doubt given my nature the aim will be to beat as many of them as possible. I'm guesstimating at 3:45s at this stage which is something like 2:38, although that sounds ambitious for my firs one.
