Australian Masters Athletics Championships Perth April 2018

Entries opened today for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships Perth in April 2018. I am entered along with two other people already. I booked flights and a hotel months ago.

I begin my Direct Preparation training block for the event when I return for Oceania Masters Athletics Championships in New Zealand next week. Events entered include 10000m track, 1500m, 5000m and 8000m XC, all on consecutive days.

I'm treating Oceania Masters as a training week with little taper. Australian Masters Athletics Championships is my first big event for the year. I'll be training as if it were the World Masters Athletics and with a full 10 day taper and all the sessions. Events will be held on the same XC course and main stadium used in World Masters Athletics Championships 2016 in Perth.

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.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
