Burns Beach 20k

20km 2hr03 @ 6:08 HR 138

Only about 4 hours sleep, thanks to baby waking at 4:50am and me doing the honours. Headed to Burns Beach for a run at 7am. Took it really slow going out for the first 10k, taking about 1hr05 with every km over 6 min pace including a 3 minute pit stop at Mullaloo toilets. Felt a slight twinge in my right knee which is disconcerting. After the turnaround at Hillarys I decided to increase pace. I was pleased to be able to go faster with just about every km, finishing the 20th km in 5:09 pace. However average pace was still well above 6 min. I'd be looking at a marathon time of about 4:20 at that pace. Good to see HR at 138, the lowest I've had.
