Notes
Goal was to do a 5K tempo around 4:12 pace. Chose Leslie to the Beaches as I was hoping the path would be clear but outside the first 200m it was pretty slushy/icy, wasted lot of energy zigzagging and being cautious of the slippery parts. Plus there was some slippage on the slushy parts. Maybe took the first half too relaxed with a tailwind as pace really slowed but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to complete the 5K if I went out too fast. Ended up being smart as the wind killed me after the turnaround. Legs just felt so heavy and I couldn't get any turnover going. Was breathing pretty hard by the end but at least I didn't exit tempo breathing. Quite disappointed as this was my slowest tempo in years.
