BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC 22:11

At lunch weather almost perfect with full sun, warm, light to moderate winds on the exposed sections high on the course. My run of 22:11 done in training shoes again, I'll keep it that way for the next few weeks. I really felt great throughout the run with minimal loss of speed in the final kilometres.

Helen ran another strong effort finishing 1st on handicap with 29:31. She is back to within a few seconds of the form that gave her three medals (one of each colour plus a Quokka) in the World Masters Athletics Championships in Perth 2016. I had no hope of catching her today.

Next set on Saturday will be light. Main event of the weekend with be Mothers Day Classic fun runs of 5km (Helen, Jack, myself) and 10km (Steve).

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.
