ACT XC Championships

Stromlo Forest Park the venue for the combined ACT XC Championships. The weather cool to cold with a slight breeze and drizzle. The surface soft but not overly wet. Some great results out there from the gang on a bleak day...made all the better by an extended lunch on top of Mt Stromlo.

Of me: Possibly my best run in the last 5 years. Through 10km in 33:25, 6th place overall (1st Vet), helped over the last 5km by a group of triathletes, always felt in control, always able to respond when I needed to. The new technique working a treat

Katie 32:29
Heidi 33:37
Maria 35:12

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.
