Night champs at Speers Point. Got a bit lucky tonight. Started 1 min behind Rob and was able to catch due to some contentious garden mapping that caught Rob out. From there it was a massive advantage being shown the controls. Rob began to pull away as I faded and I took a different route choice to 15 but was much same. We both stuffed 16 a bit and regrouped. I lost time at 18 trying to go a different way but had the advantage to catch back up. I then tried my hardest to blow it at 24 and 25, Rob turned right but I kept going cos it didn't feel right. I was wrong. Then I overran 25. Lost about 45 secs between the two and nearly the race as I only ended up 9 secs in front. Calves felt OK running but time to rest up for Melbourne.

Ints at the track with Nic, Rob, Tamara and Sal. 12 x 300m with 100m walk recovery. Rob and I went a bit fast in the beginning. I slowed after 7 but Rob managed to keep the pace which was impressive. My left calf not too happy at the end!

Tempo at Walka. Was a nice option but didn't feel as good as I would have liked.

Park final at Dudley Public school. Bit of a disappointing run for me, very hesitant in the buildings and tired way too quickly out in the open. Rob took out the trophy by a good 45 secs, maybe 20 secs could be brought back off that if it wasn't for fencegate but still a convincing win. Good to see him finally turning form into results ;)
As for me, I'm lacking speed badly at the moment and there's not much I can do about it before Melbourne next weekend. Expecting to have a tough time.

Warm up and down

Training at Heart Rate Hills with Nic and Rob. Pretty warm but I felt alright running. A bit scrappy through controls 3, 4 and 5. Got tired a bit too quickly at the physical end of the course. Still have a bit of a sniffly nose!!
