ACT Masters Athletics : Final Track Meet 2015

As usual the final track meet for the year is all about fun with a little bit of serious competition. There is a caber toss, standing long and triple jump, obstacle race, guess your time 2000m with no watch and walk relay. On the serious side is the Presidents 100m handicap. It's always a fun night. I wasn't there for the obstacle race (video 2014), was there for the Presidents 100m handicap (video 2015). Congrats to Sue Bourke, 7 years straight, John Lamb 2 years straight (4th win).

Of me: Guess your time 2000m 2nd best guess of 6:29.3, won smoked chicken, vegetarian am I, gave away:-). Backed up in 3000m, warm up two laps, strides 4 x 200-500m, tempo 800m, last 200m 33sec, 10:40ish.

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.
