ACT Masters Track : One Mile : The Comedy
OK so maybe I got carried away on my 4th stride during the warm-up for the Mile, saw the 13.9 (wind with + 3.5mps in the back straight) and twang the right hammy (not the usual left). Out came the right thumb and finger grabbing whatever I could tight tissue and squeezing hard...all good maybe!! Only had two minutes to get it right before the gun.
It's become a habit now...Anthony takes a couple of laps, I take the next laps. I sat in there and relaxed (hiding from the wind) until I was confident I would do no further damage to the hammy. Lap 1 79, Lap 2, 3 quicker, Lap 4 the quickest. The wind in the home straight was awful for all the laps.
Results: Mile: Me 5:11, Anthony 5:13, Helen 6:47
3000m: V 10:54 (easily beat all the males)
5000m: Roget 22:10. It was Pentathlon evening so a reduced track schedule.
I have a head cold / chest infection, twang the hammy and I am still positive. Really I've only missed one session in a few weeks. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow but ultimately if I don't race tomorrow evening I don't drive to Melbourne and back next Thursday for Zatopek lower grades 10000m.
Regardless I will be there tomorrow evening to cheer or pace or video Steve and Keith in the ACT Masters 3000m Championships. See what happens.
