Virtual Parkrun 5km Steve 18:00 ; Stromlo XC 5000m Time Trial Helen 22:34

Wednesday is Time Trial day. At Gungahlin Parkrun course Steve ran his 5km time trial in 18:00. I ran 17:16. Both Steve and I had to return and restart our time trials after I collided with another runner after 1km leaving me lying on the ground with a sore neck and assorted cuts and abrasions.

After I had some medical treatment I traveled to Stromlo XC circuits to pace Helen in her 5km time trial.

Helen's Splits: 2:06.3,2:21.61,2:10.44,2:21.93,2:13.95,2:19.86,2:14.72,2:19.46,2:12.38,2:14.19=22:34.8 That is Helen's best 5km since her 6th place in the 5000m W55+ World Masters Athletics Championships race in 2016. Helen also placed 2nd in the W55+ 10000m, 3rd in the W55+ XC and also a member of the winning Australian M55+ XC Team at that meet.

I will have to allow for some recovery time before I attempt another 5km time trial.
