Despite Selwood being a protected species, Bartel winning an Oscar and goal review failing again, a great win by the Hawks!!

Busy day: Logan's Thanksgiving this morning followed by lunch at Briohny's. Then Deb and I drove to Canberra for the ACT Long tomorrow. Managed to get a run in after we arrived: from Telopea Park up to Kings Bridge then around and over Commonwealth Bridge and back to the start. Tweaked my lower back as I was carrying gear up to our motel room but didn't seem to effect my running. Hopefully OK tomorrow.

Running race (Wagga Trail Half Marathon) 1:49:31 [5] 20.85 km (5:15 / km) +215m 5:00 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 15 white/blue
Tough day but a really enjoyable run. Dilemma on what to wear given cooler and wet conditions (rain held off for most of the race) but opted for shorts, shorts sleeve shirt and running vest and that was all good.
Started a bit faster than I normally do but that was not unexpected with the large group all justling for places before heading into the narrow road culvert. Steady and comfortable along the main fire trails in Pomingalarna and then we were onto the great single track (MTB track) for about 3-4 kilometres zig zagging our way up the western side of the hill. Chatted to a guy from Sydney on his first Wagga Trail along here. Also got overtaken here by the first and second Marathon runners who were setting a very good pace.
Once over the top of the ridge I well around a couple of people and set sail down hill to the drinks station at McNickle Rd. The next 2 kms are the dullest of the whole course, along dead-flat dirt roads then we were back onto the single track around Flowerdale Lagoon. I started to struggle a bit here and was overtaken by the 2 runners I had passed at the top of Pommy.
Quads, particularly the right, started to tighten up at around 16km. Another short road section then onto the "slip-slide" single track along the river. Track was badly chopped up by earlier runners, the MTBikers (they had a MTB Marathon this year for the first time) and yesterday's 10km runners. Finished quite strongly in the end but missed my time from 2 years ago but just over a minute. Pretty happy with that given my not ideal amount of training.
