Event: Gauteng Schools League 2
 

Event: SA National Squad 3000m Time Trial 1
 

National Squad Time Trial at WEC
It's was the first time I've run 3km like that so I was relatively happy with my run. Felt like I was running well and it hurt a little less than I expected. Ran with Tania and Zoe for most of it. We started well, maybe a little fast. Slowed down a bit in the middle but had a good last lap. Finished a few seconds behind Tania after pulling away from Zoe with about 150m to go.
Now to keep up the training and knock a good bit of time off in 2 months time.

Event: Gauteng Open event
 

Put out controls for the CATI event at Jeppe Boys.

Short map memory course. Tried to take in detail and not just run on prior knowledge. Was planning on doing the medium course as well but I got a bit distracted and then had to leave.

As usual there were loads of people and I started pretty far back. Started my watch as I crossed the line. Lots of weaving for the first 2km (12:08). Managed to pick it up a bit after that. Went through 8km in 47:19. Felt strong in the last 2km with 5:20 splits. Happy to get under an hour. Big improvement on last years hour and 5mins.

Jeppe Girls finally decided to get a cross country coach but she was sick today so they asked me to help out. Was given a detailed plan which worked well - warm up, 4km route, 5x 50m sprints, sit-up, squats and lunges and then a good stretch. It was really hot so there was lots of moaning.
I got in some extra distance running to school and home again.

Warm up, drills and cool down.

At WEC track. Did 8x 400m with 90sec rest.
Times were 1:45, 1:46, 1:44, 1:45, 1:42, 1:42, 1:45.

Encouraging session. Felt good and was moving well. Big emphasis on good running form.
