Stromlo XC Long Intervals
It's been a long time since the last big Saturday set at Stromlo due to the viscous magpie. Today two groups. At 7am Steve, Jane and myself, at 8am Maria, Helen, Tori, Gabe, Pam, Kathy, Roget and myself as pacer. KT, Missy and many others out there as well.
Group 1: 2000m (6:48), 1500m (4:59), 1200m (4:01), 800m (2:29), 400m (68) with long recovery. Steve cruised through the first efforts having raced last evening, quicker than me on the last two efforts. Jane cruised through the 2000m and was substantially quicker than last week on all remaining efforts (35 seconds or so quicker cumulative).
Group 2: 3 x 1000m with the quickest efforts all under 4:00/km. Roget, Maria and Helen the fastest and looking very impressive, others very close behind.
It was a big morning that ended as usual, coffee and brunch, this time at 'Little Oink', after a 10 second shower a short stroll from home with Bella.
Of me: No niggles really to speak of. This head cold / chest infection will linger for some time making breathing more difficult. Despite that I had a really good set and felt strong throughout. 20km for the morning done.
Some video frame grabs from last evening in the 3000m.
