Night of Nights

I can't remember a night at ACTVAC that made me happier to be an athlete.

The two Kathy's:
A mile, cool, some breeze, not many starters. Two Kathy's, the best middle distance runners in the club separated by 5 years in age, both breaking all the ACT records in their age groups (W55 & W60) and in some events Australian and World records as well. Kathy #1 breaks her old W55 mile record, sets a new W60 record. Kathy #2 breaks Kathy #1s W55 record. Both records by a fair margin.

Pentathlon night:
Emma breaks her own pentathlon record,runs a 2:33 800m to finish off. Looking very strong and composed. On top of her game.

10000m:
Almost perfect conditions and a very large field. kt awesome 41+. Very quick last lap. Better to come yet. Got the fiffy$$ Helen awesome. Complete spent at the end 43+. Roget? Results later.

Of me: 33:27 (2km splits:6:30 , 6:39, 6:48, 6:49, 6:41)

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.
