Got an email from Athletics Tasmania today regarding the National XC Champs. Their dilemma is that they have 7 guys available to run Nats and only need 6 to fill a team. No problem really as Kim Gillard wants to run as an "individual" competitor in order for someone younger to get a guernsey. Awesome, it means that I will get a run as a Tassie representative.
I have now represented Victoria and will soon represent Tasmania.
My dilemmas are as follows.
I wanted to enter as an individual competitor, hence the reason I did not nominate as being available for selection. The reason for this is simple. Saucony have been very good to me and I wanted to wear the Saucony kit at Nats. However, by accepting to run on the State team, I lose the right to wear anything Saucony except for shoes and socks.
What to do????
I guess I could compromise by getting the Tassie uniform and then getting a Saucony logo attached!!!!!! Sneaky but I cant see anywhere that says it cant be done.
My 2nd dilemma is this. My Achilles is now fully recovered thanks to an awesome Massage Therapist with "Magic Hands". After 90 minutes of intense pain (she found knots in the knots) I am pain free. So, to wear spikes or not to wear spikes??
Given that my spikes have a fairly large heal, which I have modified to make higher, I am leaning towards wearing them. I guess a final decision will be made upon seeing the course and the condition its in. After 8 or 9 races prior to ours it should be soft enough to warrant spikes. I definitely cant see it being rock hard so we will wait and see.

Congratulations on being selected for your 'adopted' State.
I'm sure that Aths Tas will allow you to wear a logo on their top, I'm fairly sure I have seen a few on AV tops in past years.
Shoes - spikes! The ground will not be hard, especially after all of those kids hooning on the course!
See ya on the 23rd & again, CONGRATS
