75F, 100%, calm winds. 2.31 in 20:11, splits 8:22, 8:52, 9:23. Palpably hotter/tougher conditions this morning, as my splits illustrate. Before my watch beeped the 2nd mile reading, I thought I had sped up from the first mile. Same with the last 0.3. I think a great indicator that you're out of shape/overmatched/not feeling it is when you steadily slow down despite feeling like you're speeding up. Thought for the day. |
