Tan Relays

A weekend in Melbourne running the Tan Relays. My first race for Western aths since the XC Relays in April and a pleasant surprise performance wise.

I was expecting to struggle and run about 17 or 18 minutes. Instead I found it easy and ran 14:37.

I started out very easy and cruised up Anderson St, rolling thru 2km in 8 minutes and then it was all down hill to the finish. I reckon if I had had a decent crack I would have run a minute quicker. At no time did I feel as though I was out of my comfort zone. Even better, I had no trouble with my Calf and even did another lap as a cool down to finish off a very good day.

Good to see so many Western Aths runners out as well, as I have said before, the club has a good feel about it. Everyone seems to get along well, and shows genuine interest in their team mates.

Saw a couple of the AFL boys as well and it was good to catch up on the gossip.

Calf has pulled up well today but I will have today off and then an easy run tomorrow night after work at the track.

Hopefully things are on the improve and my injury troubles are behind me.
