Training Log Archive: Quirkey

Home from Redhead along Fernleigh Track
(after walking dogs on beach: Barbara drove home)

Two guys cruising in road bikes ahead of me when I got on the track. Slow enough for me to use a mark to work for. Good burn all the way to adamstown exit.
Eased my pace down after that.

WU jog before race

University "Campus Scamper" 5k
Apparently an annual tradition since about 1960.

Time a guess (no watch), but came in 10th out of 80-100 (?)
The first 3 finishers all broke the course record (me wonders if course was short?)
There were about 3x as many students doing a 3k walk option
, which is a bit lazy really considering their age. Clearly only out to socialize and help gain points for some inter-house competition for those living on campus.

Slightly ashamed I'd not realised until today how beautiful the path beside the creek behind engineering is.

Also surprised that the only person I knew there was Massey, and I recognized the face of one 1st yr Architecture student among the crowd.

Edit: Apparently won the Staff category in the race: $50 book voucher woohoo!
Also, official time was 19:03, so almost definitely a short course

foam roller etc

400m Front Crawl (50/50/100/100/50/50)
