Training Log Archive: ondrejpavlu

Palm Beach. Good fun but wind picked up half way which made it pretty tough to get back and also created some waves which saw me swimming a couple of times :)

Wolli Creek trails with Bart and Brooner. Pretty flat towards the end...

Easy lunch LCNP trails. Legs a bit heavy after yesterday

Event: Sydney Summer Series #8 - Hurlstone Park
 

SSS#8 - Hurlestone Park

Thanks to brutally delayed Sydney trains got to the assembly with 10 minutes to register, change, plan my route and start. Surprisingly though, looking at others' logs, I have probably managed to plan the ideal route - going clockwise via 20 at the beginning. Got the lot in 38:34 in I think my fastest SSS time ever, the course was a lot faster than it appeared from the map.

Just a few little hesitations and 20sec mistake at 8 where I just couldn't see the control in the bush, otherwise clean run. Caught up Keelan around 2/3 way which was a great boost for my morale. I had to keep on pushing it - probably the reason why I managed to finish 1st, 20 sec faster than Steve :)

Unfortunately, crossed an "impassable" cliff 28-9 - I saw Keelan in front of me going down there and a highway from previous runners so wasn't really thinking and headed down and only checked after I finished. Bad Ondrej! Easily passable but very slow in my flat road runners and probably slower than going around using stairs anyway.

My neck/upper back was hurting towards the end (running a 10k race was never a good idea) and then on the way back home with Bart but well, I survived...

C • "Impassable" 6

From SSS with Bart who was pushing the tempo a bit more then I would have liked!

Woke up with completely stuffed neck. After a previous positive experience booked a chiro right away. Cracked my neck a few times for instant relief, but still not 100%. Will do it one more time on Thu and probably massage on Fri.
