long run from Tamsin's place. w/ Tamsin, Kirra, Clare, Rachel, Mat, Richie and Mark for half the run. Started and finished in Anzac park, with a big loop over Mt Coottha. Quite tired today.
Intervals at UQ with Kirra, Olly and Mat. 6x1k with 2min walk recoveries. moved this session from tues to try and get some more recovery time after the weekend, but it totally didn't work - I think I would have run better a couple of days ago. really slow - and I felt like I hit the wall on each one after the second one.

Race elements. expected legs to be pretty sore after yesterday, but they were ok. arms were quite tired though - driving the whipper-snipper all afternoon yesterday was quite hard.
Running race 43:46 [5] 9.5 km (4:36 / km) +300m3:59 / km
Mt Coottha king/queen of the mountain race. 1 lap of the ring rd, anticlockwise. Kirra and I ran, and Olly turned up as well. legs felt a bit tired after a few hard runs this weekend, but the climb is a nice steady gradient, so it was easy to get into a good rhythm. had a couple of battles with some guys who were running near me, which helped push me along a bit faster. the next girl was about 3mins back. 16th overall and first girl.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [2]
going to need to spend some quality time stretching as well. quads could be a little sore after this one!
