Short Run 5km with Strides : World Masters Games Auckland Day -1

Today the half marathon and 10km road races on a basically flat course with little wind. Times were quick among the top places. Sally Gibbs 36min+ in the women.

I watched, relaxed and ran 25 minutes in the afternoon with some faster bursts. Nothing taxing.

Minnie and Robyn B ran in the Auckland Parkrun. Steve and Jane are continuing their slow build up to form in Oz.

Racing begins for me tomorrow in the 5000m track.

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.
