Bike Path Run 17km Inc 10 X 1 minute : 1st Magpie Swooping 2021

Lots of rain over the last day, still raining at times and windy. The run a bare minimum to keep the legs ticking over. Mid-run included a set of 10 X 1 minutes with 1 minute recovery. Today was my first swooping from the Stromlo Magpie family. They have been drawing blood since 2007 and relocated many times. Today only a small amount of blood above the right ear. Keith has a special helmet for protection, I'll do my best to avoid them until late November. This image from 23rd September 2014.

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.
