Beach Time Trial 3km ; Retirement #2

A long day as I drove to Canberra and back to return work laptop as I commence Retirement#2. The drive was easy with not much traffic until hitting the coast again, sometimes heavy rain. I delayed the run until the deluge stopped for a bit. Milli the Border Collie and I raced each other for 3km on the beach (she always wins) with a warm up and warm down on forest trails. Tomorrow is Parkrun, I am marshal, no racing. I'll get a mock Parkrun in before the event. Rain is expected. From Monday I'll have plenty of time again for training after leaving 'work from home' behind me. I've already pulled the bike trainer out for the very wet days. On the good days I'll do some bike riding on paths by the coast as well as running...more whale spotting.

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.
