Last weekend we did a road trip up to Pori Jazz. We camped at Yyteri beach where I also did a nice hour-and-half run in the eary morning.
Today, I started off with some extensive jumping in the city. Pics are here. The day ended in Otaniemi. First, a 1000m at 3.19 with extremely easy 74 secs last lap. It felt almost perfect. So I decided to try 1500m, which was a miserable failure. First 300m flying in 49 secs, then a much harder 73 sec lap and I was mentally done. Exhausted, alone, just couldn’t keep the pace. 1000m split was like 3.00 and my target 4.20 was already lost. I stopped at 1100m with 3.20. A few minutes later I retried with more constant speed but a 3.30 split at 1100m made me stop it again. It should have been under 3.20 god damn it! Finally another easy 3.18 1000m and return to home.
