Event: Sydney Sprint Series #3
 

Sprint Race at Macq Uni. Really went hard in this race to make up for last week's poor 8th woman placing! Easy to run confidently when you know the map well from coursesetting and remapping for WMOC. Came a cropper when a passage way you could get through at Masters near the Business Management School was cut off my glass walls and I needed to backtrack, losing 30 seconds. Very impressed by Elise's time...and felt much better when I learnt she was 5th in the Sprint at WOC last year! 2nd female to her.

Warm up jogging above swimming pool. Partly to avoid kids seeing me knick off to start and also coz I need to more!

Macquarie Uni - Splits

Beautiful run with Malin and Cath from Berowra Station east down to Cowan creek, then south and up to Mt Kuringai. Beautiful run I sometimes do with Paul when visiting his sister in Mt Colah. Only a shame we could barely hear each other through the noise of cicadas.

Reluctantly head out for hill intervals on this hot humid day with Malin and Anthea - a neighbour who hasn't done any intervals before. She did well to last 2. Same intervals as last Sat. Malin was way stronger than last week and we were very closely matched. I get ahead on the gradual uphill, she overtakes on the down, then I slowly usually creep ahead on the steep up, but not always. 4.40, 4.50,4.55, 4.45.

Jogged through streets to our interval loop, with on-paced Anthea striding out ahead. Dropped into the servo on way back for some cream needed in our "Jamie Oliver's Fantastic fish pie" that night.

Jogged to Circular Quay from work through Hyde Park on way to pick up sunburnt kids from mum and dad's. Swam at Delwood beach.

I feel ordinary today and am not sure if I am about to come down with some virus heading around our family or if I am just sleep deprived and tired from training . Paul was throwing up Sunday afternoon and Jamie was last night. I only realised when he'd come into our bed in the middle of the night. I went into his bed to sleep there rather than carry him back, and put my arm on his vomit!

Ran from home down Mowbray Road into Lane Cove North Estate, where I thankfully found the watch that had slipped off my wrist when I was on the way to pick the boys up from Possums. Then jogged above ath's track through the bush a bit back home.

Plan had been to tee up with Tiia and Malin and run Summer Series at Watsons Bay and have Paul mind the boys. Had felt too tired for that anyway. Paul's getting painful back spasms, so I came to pick the boys up.

Ran with Peter and Anthea along Avian to aths track, then up Ferndale and back streets. Very tired from previous 3 days training, but thought I’d be sociable. Easy pace at least as Peter hadn’t trained at all this year.

Malin and I had a massage and stretching session which we really should do/ have done more often.
