Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 5th in 17:48 ; Steve 3km Time Trial 11:30

Cool, humid morning at Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 5th in 17:48. A big improvement on recent weeks. Splits(500m):1:45,1:44,1:41,1:43,1:44,(dead turn,1:51),1:49,1:51,1:49,1:45. I did get out there quicker than I have been posting my fastest time since June 2023. The first 5 finishers were closely packed and could see each other from start to finish. I did most of the work before the turn chasing Riley, the eventual winner and youngest in the field. I should see another jump in form the next time I run following the effort today. I will be a volunteer next Saturday at Parkrun. I have planned a Time Trial for Tuesday on a quick course. I'll see how that goes. Otherwise it will be a Time Trial around Panboola before I volunteer. This afternoon was an easy 7km recovery run. Tomorrow a trot with the local running group. Today Steve ran a 3km Time Trial in Canberra as Training in 11:30, just a couple of weeks since he returned to structured training.

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.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
