tribute to genie

genie had a very tough trot in 2010. plagued by the things that come to us all as athletes, genie finally found herself in one piece. she came to us after the season had started, worked hard and smart, her transformation was, is and will be again...miraculous

genie has a talent for nurturing others herself. if you look hard enough you will find out how.

i don't need to say much more,look at the numbers.

21.10.2010 1500m 6:15
4.11.2010 800m 2:56
6.1.2011 1500m 5:43
13.1.2011 800m 2:40
20.1.2011 800m 2:39
27.1.2011 1500m 5:45
10.2.2011 1500m 5:34
5.3.2011 800m 2:36
6.3.2011 1500m 5:20
10.3.2011 800m 2:40

genie also managed a classy road relay leg in before having a stressy setback, close enough to nationals to put her stellar season at an end.

genie won't be at nationals, but once again there is no limit to the potential of this gem. the first chapter in a book many wouldn't want to put down...and a book not to yudge by the first line

best wishes geniexx

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.
