Our great friend

Today penultimate Thursday track for the season...no rain!!! Warm...Not windy, a breeze.

3000m: Our great friend Kathy S'gate an Australian record 11:12.5 (from memory). Even quicker than last week in the Pennington. Top stuff Kathy.
KT wins the Geoff Moore series by a handsome margin. A solid run tonight 11:35 after a tough weekend of training. Mia 12:15 another solid run...next 5000m will be under 20:30. Kathy S a little chesty...a hard weekend training at the coast and on track. Nice set of 800s and 400s earlier in the week. Tonight a tempo 1200m (4s). Save it for the spiral.

800m: GT 2:30, Helen 2:57

Spiral: Kathy S won the series easily as did Roget in the men. Helen 2nd in the series. Ran a relaxed and very quick final race.

Of me: Like Mia, Kathy, KT, Helen a harder week of training this week. 120km in the legs last 7 days. The track closed on the weekend. Needed a set to keep me moving forward rather than chasing times, so did that in the 3000m The set: 800m (2:25), 200 jog (0:50), 600m (1:48), 200 jog (0:50), 400m (72), 200 jog (54), 200m (35), 200m jog (56), 200m (35). Still won, 10:15.

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.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
