Notes
Wanted to do a harder 5k within a 15k run, not sure whether to do it at tempo or HM pace, basically running by feel. Wind was quite strong (30km/h+) mostly from the west, partly from the north so the first 2.5K were into the wind. Averaged 4:05.7 for tempo portion. 250m splits were:

I felt pretty relaxed starting out slow and knew I just had to make it to the turnaround before I could start cruising. Progressively picked up the pace and finished strong, barely looking at my watch. Heart rate data was way off but it looks like I barely touched 180 during run. Wore my footpod and cadence seemed a little higher than normal, peaking around 96 during tempo whereas at Tannenbaum it peaked around 94.
Let arch didn't feel too bad. Overall quite pleased with the effort.
