McKay 10 x 800s

With another wet and miserable morning that seems to be the norm for our disappointing Summer we are having it was down to the McKay Oval in the park for a session i thought would work well.,
Decided again to miss the HuRTS session and do 10 x 800s, with the aim being to run them all slightly slower and more at race pace (10ks) and reduce the break down to 60 seconds after each rep.
Despite the weather conditions were perfect for running as i settled for the first rep, For some reason the 800s were measured long and i was getting a reading of 840 mtrs each that added a few extra seconds, Even running at a reduced pace i was thinking that 10 of them may have been a bit ambitious as i rolled around for the 1st rep in 2.51 (3.23 pace), settled for the next few and actually was tipping along nicely - Did notice though that one would be slightly quicker then the next the pace was down.
Was very happy with the whole 10 completed and the pace for each of them worked out well, and i was particularly happy with only taking 60 seconds break. Pace per k went;
3.23, 3.23, 3.22, 3.18, 3.16, 3.12, 3.19, 3.15, 3.18, 3.13,

Cheers
