Started the run just past 3pm. Scorching hot temperature ranged from 29 to 36. I would presume it was 36 when I started. Average was 32 at the end of the run.
1st 16km in 1:38:40 and 2nd 16km in 1:40:42. Heart rate shot up to at times above 150 on the 1st 16km, probably primarily due to the heat. Total crap was the 2nd 16km. I even took the easy way out by running in my estate after 20km - as flat as can be. I had thought I would benefit but turned out to be otherwise. My long run of 32km timing is dipping - from 3:06 till 3:20. It sucks considering that I had been resting for the past 2 weeks. And it is not making it any better with the race looming in 6 weeks time. Damn!
Life is half spent before we know what it is. George Herbert, 1593 - 1633
