Stromlo XC Intervals

Only 10km today all at Stromlo doing an intervals session and watching the criterium races adjacent. I heard one female rider in a breakaway with another girl exclaim 'we can't do it, it's too windy!'...and it was.

Of me: 2km warm up, 4 x 500m on the 1km loop, 2 x 1km on the 2km loop, 1km warm down.

Looks like I will give the Stromlo Running Festival 7.5km XC race a crack on Saturday morning even if a bit underdone. Our group is moving venue to Stromlo for the next few weeks to get some distance into the legs before AMA championships. The girls are rocking over 800m but not so in the longer races thanks to the record summer heat.

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.
