Training Log Archive: Uncle JiM

Morning run with the boys, normal loop. I was going to run there, but a last minute panic trying to find shoes, meant I had to drive, even then I nearly missed the start. Virginia and Meg were there as well, good to see more girls

To the track and home after

A easy ride up the ridge to DH, then down to the creek and home

Event: Bendigo Twilight 3 hr
 

Course looked very do-able in 2 hrs, or less, so Dave and I waited a hour, so as to get some night navigation, also sent Clara out on the same route as us, with the aim of running her down. Just as we were to start, Craig turned up, so there was 3 of us for the 1st few controls.

Was nearly 20 (out of 30) controls into it, before the lights came on. Trouble was, that my 'recently fully charged' battery, gave up after 5 controls. Told Dave to keep chasing. Got another 2 in the dark, but left the last 3, and headed to the finish.

Clara had beaten us well and truly, will only give her 40 mins head start next time

I had heard that Keely was doing a 800 @ Tom Flood tonight, so headed down for a Gander, but no Keely. Backmarkers race was worth watching, 5 PPL with a chance with 50m to go, mid marker got up

Legs not feeling the best, Yesterday and the weekend doesn't help.

Went out late for a shortened Goose Neck, more tired now than on Sunday

To the track and back

With the Mo, up to Foleys crossing and back before the intervals, and up and around the Soccer fields after.

5 x 400, twas a good session, felt lots better than last week, and sharper than I thought I would be after the weekend.

Ran 4 with the Moook, then dropped out while he did another one, then rejoined him for the last. Good to see Mo getting into a bit of speed work
