Canberra Runners Half Marathon 11th overall 1st M60+ 80:42

Cool and extremely windy for the lumpy Canberra Runners Half Marathon. After a cautious start I found my threshold and sat on it for 80 minutes. It was a tough day for everyone. After the run a cafe visit to warm up the numb body. It will take a good fortnight to recover. Next race is in July.

Good to see you Bruce. Well done on your run and result, it was a tough day. Seemed colder at the finish with that wind than at the start.

Ta Ewen, it was a nice visit to CBR. Loved the Customs Joggers uniforms, very stylish. Many Canberra Runners Half Marathons have been in great conditions. Sad we lucked out this year.

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.
