Event: Victorian State Series #10
 

State Series event on the old Spargo Creek map, ran here for the 1st time back in 1980 in the Australian Relay champs, been remaped by club members.
Did not go to hard as I was a little sore from the Road race yesterday, and I thought, if I ran slower, I would be able to clock up more minutes on AP.
Course was not to hard, many on major features, just hard work and cold, Had to run up the hill near the start twice, not much fun )-;

C • That course wins award for course setting sadism of the year 3

Went for a easy roll over of the legs, been a hard weekend of training/racing, and more important, to get in front of Ilka on AP :-)

Out into the wind, checking out the last bit of the course

Glen Allan 15k road race, the 1st half of the race was run into a 30 kph headwind, made it hard to run when on your own, there was a group of 4, 100 m in front of me sharing the work load, i just pushed my way into the wind, couldn't catch anyone from the group in front, but more important, no one caught me either. Time 50 secs slower than last year, but considering the wind, very happy with the whole race

easy stroll/warm down after the race

Wet for a ride with the L-Train, out over Diamond Hill, K Flat, Olympic Parade, Eaglehawk Tip and Home

Run to the Res for intervals

Did the usaul Rep session at the res with L-Train, Keely and Birchy. Keely was out to get to the track, L-Train was not going to let him get away, Birchy did not know what was hitting him, I just sat back and watched. Keely got to the same place as last week, L-Train just behind him, then they raced the return leg and got back with 10 15 sec to spare.
I ran it well and pulled up OK, 15k road race this Saturday

Strech and easy run pry to returing home

Return home from Reps

No training today for a number of reasons

1 It is to cold, (did not get above 8 degrees)
2 It is wet, I hate getting wet when I train
3 I had a tooth extracted yesterday and have to "Avoid Strenuous Exercise" for 24 hours

Had to go to the dentist today, so went out before lunch and did some reps. Was going to do 5 x 800, but after doing the 1st one in 2.40 (3.20 Km), I decided to see how many I could do at this pace, did 4
2.40
2.40

Dont know if I could have done the 5th, I was feeling a little wasted, so decided to stop before I injured myself
