Mothers Day Classic Fun Runs 10km and 5km Canberra

Gale force winds greeted participants in the Mothers Day fun runs in Canberra. The same event in Merimbula was cancelled due to the same winds. In Merimbula Keith ran a tempo run in lieu of the event.

10km: 1st Jacob Grooby, 2nd Jason McCrae, 3rd Steve Rohan-Jones. Nice run for Steve in the conditions. Jen W60 ran a 1 minute PB (49:31)

5km: 1st James Barker, 2nd Me. Jack 20:40, KT 22:43, Helen 22:56.

Of me: Splits: 3:20,3:32,3:21,3:26,3:38=17:18 First 1500m and last kilometre were all into the wind. I sat in out of the wind for the fist kilometre.

Next set on Tuesday with long XC intervals

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.
