Stromlo Time Trial 2000m 6:26 ; Forest Trails Run 10km : Keith 9km XC

Strong winds of yesterday gone, this morning cold, fog and just a breeze. I made the most of the conditions running a 2000m time trial at Stromlo in 6:26. Splits(500m):1:35.90,1:38.01,1:36.33,1:36.02=6:26.26 Slightly faster than the 6:26.43 I did on August 30th. Following that a 10km run on forest trails as a recovery run, 17km for the day, 132km this week. Next session will be a 5000m time trial(Not Parkrun)to be done in the next 3 days. Today Keith ran 9km on his own XC course at his patch. Weather hot.

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.
