Training Log Archive: Uncle JiM

Good turn up this morning, most were wearing tights, must be a sign of the temperature. Victor was moving well, he didn't race yestie, but did 40k. I think he was trying to psych me out (-:

Surprised with how well it all went, considering how I felt after the yesterday's race

C • tights? 2

Around the uni

Uni Invitation, another slow start from me, saw me back of the back of the 2nd pack, kept it together, and worked the hills well, then as we approached the dirt section - and the top of the hill - I sensed a slow down at the front, so took the chance to push the pace. It seemed to work, as one by one, I felt no one behind.

Went through with 1.5 k to go, best chance in a while to check the opposition behind, and I seemed clear of all the other pre vets, still had 2 in front, but was holding 3rd. With 500 to go, bloke not that far back, so I pushed a little harder, and held him of.

3rd in 40+, there were 9 of us in the top 15, it is a very competitive age group

Out to the 1k marker, and back

Cant work out how anyone trains on a bike in the evening, its to bloody cold.

Out around the GooseNeck, nothing much happened

C • because 3

Put out controls on Wildflower Drive, and bought them back in. Took a lot longer than the 30 mins, only logging the time that I ran

Thought I was going to get out before it got to cold, but the days turns so quickly, I missed it again.

Did a clockwise Juvy, kept the bike in top all the way, suffered on a few hills, but I got there

Intervals at the Lake

I had a meeting at 7.30, so did my training with the Girls Group. My sister and Ilka was there, we did 2 laps warm up, then 3 laps of 500 on, 200 of x 2, then a final lap as a warm down.

Was feeling good

Good thing I didn't go racing at Sandown on the weekend, my sister ran 39.02, a PB, and she is nearly 47 (whoops, not meant to put her age there) (-:

Pity she cant navigate.

C • ROFL 1

Legs were more tired than I first thought, so kept it a little shorter.

Up to DH, then onto KG, then did the YM Sunday run in the other direction, back down SG Crk to home

Put out controls for a School O session, and bought them back in.
