Still Too Hot : 3000m / 5000m
Weather hot, some wind, 38 degrees dropping to 30 degrees by end of 5000m.
3000m: Steve 10:01 (SB), Me 10:16, Kathy 13:08, Helen 13:51. 5000m: Keith 18:44. Despite the heat everyone seemed to run OK. It was Pentathlon night so we had to fit in races around their schedule. Our race started 10 minutes early, less warm up needed in the heat anyway.
Thoughts: I was impressed with everyone. Steve in those conditions a great run, wish I could have helped him in the last km, he seems to run best when in front at the right time. Everything is coming together. Kathy also great, is coming into form still with weeks to go. Keith another top effort solo. Helen has had some niggles since coming back from OS, no speed work for a fortnight. All is good.
Next set on Saturday. We should have Keith on deck again. Sunday is ACT Masters XC handicap 6km+. I'll be running flat out.
