Good news this morning, another Australian Masters Half Marathon win for me. The event was postal with assorted races conducted thoughout Australia in 2022 in self nominated events when entering. My race in April 2022 a painful experience coming a few days after Australian Masters Track and Cross Country Championships where I tore my hamstring (during the XC). I ran a much faster Half Marathon a month later when recovered from injury. I ran fastest time of all competitors in all ages with my injured time.

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.
