When I posted this morning I had totally forgotten that I was running at lunchtime though I had brought all my kit with me. All my blood must have pooled in my arms and abandoned the brain. :)
I'd intended to head out to Sunay Damansara but a last minute swerve led me through Penchala, TTDI, 1 Utama and back past the Curve. A nice hilly route with little shade and the temperature at 35C when I passed the board at 1 Utama.
I'm definitely getting the hang of this running in the heat as my split averages were pretty good. 5.54 (moderate), 5.26 (comfortably uncomfortable) and 4.58 (fast). The CU was killed a little bit by a 2 minute ait at the lights at 1 U and it was really difficult to get my legs turning over fast for a few minutes after that.
Cadence is generally improving. On one of the hills I noticed that it was about 106rpm (though footplacements were overlapping) and in general it is starting to come more naturally. Starting off it always takes a fe minutes to get into gear - it's quite interesting at some point my body desides it's ready and it slips from 80rpm to 96 very quickly.
Looking at the instructions again though I only managed to make 96 on the fast. The other 2 were 93's.
