3200m @ 10000m pace

Yet another 8 lapper on Tuesday. The long weekend spent in Bright after the race I clocked another 40km for weekend, 62km in total. Today a little fatigued but not as slow as after the half marathon with 10:34 and solid all the way through. Felt good for 5 laps and not as fresh the last three.

The girls all ran very well. All put in best winter efforts with Helen well under 43 minute pace.

From the weekend:  Crowd with cow bells and cheering on Col du Brimbank

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.
