Stromlo : 5km XC
Last race of the summer series today. 5km or 2km for the children.
2km Yack (sub5minskm,beat H by 1 second ha ha) and Teiya, both looking like future champions.
5km sb (1620), Tush (24), PSW (2205), L&P (1922), KS (621 intervals 24+), H pacing PSW on lap 2 (3 steps in front) after she paces Yack in the 2km. Some excellent runs there.
Of me: Big field today with triathlon development squads swelling the numbers. Track lush. Struggled to get anywhere near the lead pack at the start, not much spark in the legs, by 1km I was on the back (group of 5), by 1.5km there were only 3 of us, stayed in loose contact until 700m to go, no hope of staying with a couple of 20yo on the run to the line, far too quick. Splits: 802, 818. If I look at the history only once faster over the course at age 46 and only by 5 seconds. Age shall not weary us.
