Road Trip Sydney Half Marathon 1 hour 23 minutes

I woke just after midnight and drove off to Sydney to prepare for the Half Marathon On Sunday. Today being a Saturday it was an easy drive in the dark with minimal marsupials on the side of the road. A very easy jog from the hotel and stretch to reassure I am in one piece and and today get lots of sleep to replace what I missed last night. I've stayed in this hotel many times, across the road from Stadiums I last raced on a couple of Australian Masters Athletics Championships ago.Today my run was full gas from start to finish with 1 hour 23min in the red Zone. A tough day for me. No results yet from that I can see. My time is 3 seconds faster than my April Half Marathon in Canberra.Conditions ideal early until the wind picked up pace and the Sun Came out

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.
