Tas Junior Road Champs


Down the highway to Campbelltown today to watch the boys in the Road Champs. As I said last entry I was expecting Jake and Pat to have a win and I was correct. Jake took out the boys U/14 4km in 14:03. He was aiming for sub 14 but just missed out.

Pat ran the U/18 6km and had an easy win in 19:59. He achieved his aim of breaking 20minutes but it wasnt easy. There was a pretty strong headwind on the way home which slowed things down a little. Still, a very good effort by the boys.

Did my long run this morning before the trip to Campbelltown and felt good for about 90 minutes. The last 30 minutes (uphill) wasnt pretty but I guess results matter more than looks.

Did my monthly track session last Tuesday and was VERY happy with the times. 10 x 400 w/ 200m rec all sub 72 with the last one in 66. We do quicker sessions Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday but all of them are off road. This one is done in week 3 of our 4 week cycle so it only gets done once a month. I guess this will change closer to track season.

Another week of 100+ kms. The last 4 have been 99 (6 days running) 108, 106, and 104. I guess thats consistency!!!! This week should be about 110 if all goes to plan.

Feeling good and the body is coping with the workload which is handy as this time last year I was struggling with a calf injury which really didnt bugger off until about November.

Touch wood it stays that way
