City2Surf 2016 : After the Ordeal
Before the ordeal Keith in Bemboka ran warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 5km time trial at 3:41/km. A niggle forced Keith to walk back to the car post session. Hope you are well Keith.
I lined up at the start of City2Surf with Steve and Jane. They were both taking the race in a casual manner, running together. We were well back off the start line where I usually aim for. Shannon jumped the rails shortly before the start. It was very social back there.
Today 18km solid to the arboretum and back. I felt in some ways better than yesterday. Hopefully what held me back in the latter part of last week is gone. It's still winter here and people are sick everywhere I look. Hard not to be fighting something off.
Looking ahead Canberra Times Fun Run 10.1km is in 3 weeks. Tomorrow will start a new training block in direct preparation for the final racing block after Canberra Times Fun Run and leading into World Masters Athletic Championships in Perth. More on that after the planned light session tomorrow on grass at something around 1500m / 3000m pace, depending on how I feel. It will be windy.
