First - Anita came in at a 2:17 average for her first ever HM - 1:36.22.6, good for 10th on the 40-49 Hvt Ladies World Rankings this season!!!! This was at an average 23 spm. She was steady at 2:16.9 until 5k left, slipped very slightly to 2:17.2 before she muscled it down to 2:17.0 at the end. She came out of this fairly unscathed, with only the normal aches and pains. Amazing Rowing!!!
Her PB graph (plot v 500m split times) looks like this:
Her HM pace is faster than everything after and including her 30 minute pace!!!! There's plenty of PB's to be set in April and updating of her Nonathlon Score (www.nonathlon.com)
I came in with a 1:54.1 average for my second HM ever - 1:20:14.6, previous PB 1:24:01.6 so a good 3:47 quicker than my first HM over 3 years ago. I averaged 1:52.9 until 5k left, when my bugbear the numb bum came into play and made things really uncomfortable. Constant re-positioning really effected everything, and I was a little bit annoyed as I'd already done all the hard work for a sub 1:19 time.
As it is I am really pleased with it, as I'm following the same progression as Anita with the times:
Same for me, faster HM than everything from 30 minutes inclusive.
Now for the Full Marathon in 2 weeks, with a couple of different 5k pieces in between and some easy taper sessions in weeks 13 and 14 of the Eddie Fletcher Plan.
