Nick Beer 10K. Lovely day but the wind picked up and slowed me down a bit. Most of the way up wasn't too bad and I reached the summit in the same time as usual, but coming down the wind was really strong. Did second half in 19.10, extremely slow so I presume it's down to the wind. If not, what happened? KM times were 4.0 8.03 12.02 16.33 20.30 24.11 27.47 31.50 35.56 39.40, see splits above. Reached top in 20.30 identical to previous runs. I think the wind dropped a little in the km where I posted 3.36, maybe an indication of how much it slowed me - I hope so. Fifth km was quicker than previous year which was a good sign of not being too fatigued. Second km was a bit windy and first a little slower than usual. These cancelled eachother out but to do a faster fifth should have meant a stronger first downhill section.
