Keith at Merimbula Fun Run 5km 3rd 18:57 ; Canberra Half Marathon ; Long XC Run 24km

Keith made his comeback race in Merimbula Fun Run 5km, a few weeks before he turns 60. Place 3rd. Time 18:57. Splits: 3:37, 3:41, 3:44, 3:42, 3:50. Great running from Keith. Beat the M55 course record by 3 minutes and would have been up on the 60s record by 6 minutes. Well done Keith. Joshua Torley won both 10km and 5km events.

Elsewhere the Canberra Half Marathon was run in cool, windy and sometimes drizzling conditions. No results as yet from Roger or Jen.

I did my usual long Sunday run, mostly on undulating fire trails. It was mostly protected from the wind when I was in the forest. I'll do an easy recovery run this afternoon to loosen up.

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.
