Stromlo XC Intervals 2 x 3 x 1200m ; Keith 5.1km Time Trial 19:25

Stromlo XC intervals this morning in two sets, First with Steve, second with Gabe, Helen, Mia, Roget, Kathy and KT.

Sets were identical with 2500m warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 3 x 1200m with 1000m jog recovery, 2500m warm down.

Splits: (with Steve)(3:19/km, 3:13/km, 3:13/km). Steve was close behind. With the girls: Gabe 4:22/km, KT 4:03 and 4:05/km. KT missed the first effort.

All up 20km for me this morning. Tomorrow is Sprint Marathon Relay, a cross country fun teams event. It will be 12km all up for me at full gas, several intervals of 1km, 2km and a longer effort to finish.

Next set is on Tuesday with 600m efforts.

Keith ran a 5.1km time trial on a country road. Time of 19:25 shows Keith is still in good shape.

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.
