Saturday long tempo

Ok, this was the big session pre-London.  Drove up to find a good crowd of Barts, Neil, Robin Vonk, Scotty, Macca, Eoin and the Cap'n all killing about.  Did a 3km warm up and then (eventually) into it.  Everyone was doing something different - Neil was doing 3 x 7.5km, Scotty as long as he could last, Robin 20km, Macca and Eoin 25km with just Barts and me doing the full 27km. Jamie also jumped into for a solid 10km and did his bit at the front.

First 10km was fine averaging 3:33's.  Middle 7km picked up a but averaging 3:30's.  Barts was strong at this point (4th lap of 6) really pushing on and barking orders at me to keep up.  Definitely had to concentrate in order to do so but managed ok.  Last 10km averaged 3:27's and could feel my legs stiffening a bit towards the end.  But very happy to average 3:30's on an undulating course.

3km warm up and down for 33km all up.
