Benchmark Wednesday

For something different coach decided we would do some running training this morning, so we did warm ups and looked at the mechanics of our stride etc.  Then we went out and ran about 4km - well 2 laps of just over 2km.  That is the longest distance I've run in my new Inov8's, I must say, they are pretty awesome.  I finished 4th in our group and we came in under 20 minutes, pretty happy with that.  I did start to get a cramp in my left calf region at around halfway through the second lap, would have been around 3km's in.  Apart from that I was still able to pretty much sprint the last 50-60 metres.  Oh did I mention that it was raining the whole time? the gutters were full of water.  A good time was had by all, one of the crew even forgot which street to turn down and ended up doing an extra k or two, we almost sent out a search party for him.
