Out with the boys this morning and given that they are either injured and just coming back or only running 80 - 90 minutes I decided to do a bit extra before meeting them therefore getting in extra in order to get out my 1 hr and 45min.
All good in theory but by the time Kim and I had cruised back thru the Gorge and I had got home my watch was saying 2hr 13min!!!!! Add to that the fact that my last 30 minutes is all uphill and you have a tough day out.
At the end however I was still feeling pretty good. Even picked up the pace a little for the last 10 minutes.
4 out of the last 6 weeks have now been over 100kms, the last 2 being around 110.
Heading to Campbelltown next Sunday to watch the Tas Road Champs. There is no Senior race as this will be incorporated into the Launceston 10. A few of the juniors in our group are racing and I reckon they will be frequently visiting the podium afterwards. My tips are Patty in the U/18 6km and Jake in whatever age group he runs (U/14 I think). There will also be a few others filling placings too so overall it should be a good day out for the boys and girls.
Had to work yesterday so not too happy about that!! The upside is they now owe me some time off which will come in handy around about the 23rd of August when I head to Geelong for the Nat XC.

Sounds like you are getting fitter and fitter and I look forward to seeing you at the Nat. I hope those pics were able to help a little and if I see a profile I'll send that your way too.
