Parkrun Batemans Bay 1st 17:54 : Steve Parkrun Coombs 18:02

Warm to hot with full sun and some wind, 1st in 17:54. After a steady start I ran as intervals with short recovery. I got confused with the beeping watch on an 800m cycle with 220m recovery, eventually settling in for recovery on the four dead turns and faster in between. Steve ran 18:02 at Parkrun Coombs, looked like similar weather there, around 21 degrees. Optimal running temperature is between 7-15 degrees celsius from the studies I've read. Slower for every degree colder or hotter outside that range

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.
