AMA Championships Diary : Day 0

Minnie dropped me off near the airport, herself then taking a 5 hour return trip to the mother's fat farm by the sea, where Bella will stay for the next 3 months. Poor dog, she is already living inside the house, I imagine she went for a walk on the golf course and swim in the river. Minnie comes north tmoz.

Took a wee trot across the bridge in the afternoon and around the streets. 4km in all. All the limbs seemed to be working. Drifted between the spa and the pool as recovery. Chilled out for the rest of the afternoon.

Ten of us have arrived so far, PSW+Pete+Missy+Richard+TwoChildren+Roget+KT+SK+Moi. More to come.

In the evening, took a stroll on the boardwalk,a coffee,slumber broken by Phillipe Gilbert winning the Fleche Wallone up the Mur de Huy.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
