Lessons galore

Well that was an interesting one...  Sunday morning, windy, occasional rain, with blasts of sunshine along the way.  Not quite four seasons in one day, but certainly three of 'em.

And the lessons.  First the positive one - I've finally worked out how to set different limits for different sessions on the heart rate monitor.  So today's run was at a higher rate than normal.  Officially, rather than accidentally.

Others were less positive.  My camelbak is good for more than just carrying water - it could have carried the rain jacket for those occasional moments when I needed it.  Rather than wear it the whole way around.

And a wicking layer coupled with a rain jacket is not a good combination on a day like today.  Overheated the whole way.  And taking off the jacket wasn't really an option in the wind - I tried.

Having whinged about all of that, it was a good long run.  Timing wasn't bad, dealt with the hills well, etc, etc.
