ACT Masters Track 2017 : Week 1

A welcome return to the track for the first time in 2017. The weather warm and windy but in all directions.

I was there at 4:20pm straight after work. Lots of stretching, long warm up, 5 x 100m strides (last 2 in 14 seconds), 200m in 30 seconds, warm down, warm up, 8 x 100m strides.

3000m: Used as rhythm finder, start very slow, into groove, rough splits: 3:45, 3:40, 3:40 = 11:05

Warm down, warm up, 8 x 60-90m strides, tired. Minnie a season best.

1500m: Steve and Rowan both there. Windy in home straight. Steve did 98% of work, I just followed heels. Super kick by Rowan, only 2 seconds between all of us. Nice way to start 2017 on track. Rowan and Steve 4:43, Me 4:45. Warm down with Steve.

Next set on Saturday on grass. 2000m, 1500m, 1200m, 600m, 300m, 300m

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.
