ACTVAC 5000m Championships

Perfect night for running...cool, still, no humidity, cast of plenty...no chance of getting on the rails after 2 laps. I gave it a crack anyway. More of me later.

kt 19:25 pb (great race with kathy s'gate) ; kathy s'gate 19:39(new ACT W55 record) ; mia 20:25 (broke her own W55 ACT record by 20 seconds only to lose it to Kathy) ; Helen 21:20 and Kathy S 21:21 ; keith 18:21, roget 20:59 , missy 22:26 L&P 18:10, JBHIFI 19:17 both great training runs for the upcoming ironman in Port Macquarie.

In the 800m gt 2:27 (season best)

Of me: A comedy. Virtually identical splits to my last 5000m. 400 73, 800 2:27, 1600 5:00, 3000m 9:34, really struggling to keep up the 76 sec splits with so many runners to lap...looked down shoe lace trailing on the ground, shoe just about to come off,stop tie up, same thing next lap, same thing next lap, run one lap in socks blister, tie up both shoes, loose again...run last 800 in 2:32, lace still loose at finish...my own fault...nice interval session:-) 17:04

Great runs by all the crew. They were indeed perfect conditions. Now I know why I'd lose sight of you at times, while I was lap counting, you were tying your shoe laces!

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.
