Dreary grey sky day with wind and rain. The run in the forest protected from the worst of the weather, 19km. Looks like the week ahead is similar with lots of rain. I'll fit in sessions when I can.
This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
All runs done from home this morning with no wind and clear skies. 20km for the morning. Interrupted by watching the Paris-Roubaix cycling on TV in the wee hours pre-Dawn.
