Black Mtn run up in 13.26 and then run back to the AIS.

C • Good stuff 2

Warm up run to the start of the Blk Mtn run up and a bit of running around as I was early.

Pace was on early, feeling good until some stomach issues after Dairy Farmers. Lazydave was smashing it today.

short warm-up and warm-down then jog to the cafe and back home with Jessica in the pram.

Not feeling awesome after a bit too much champagne last night and a later than ideal breakfast before the run. Forgot to take my garmin then failed to start the Strava app on my phone so was running 'naked'. Start was pretty quick with Mark Bourne and Adam Leane leading the way but managed to get in a rhythm after the first 500m. Bournie was well clear and Leanie steadily pulled away in front of me and I could hear someone closing in behind. Just before the turnaround Peter Zygadlo came past so I sat in behind him as we pushed in to the wind after the turn. Opened up a little on the downhill just before going under the bridge at 2k to go and was surprised to open up a gap so I pushed on and finished clear in 3rd.

All time parkrun PB for me, well under 18.10 which I ran at Sheffield Hallam and 19.10 pram run which had been my PB at Tuggers. Hopefully continue to improve and get under 17 mins before the end of the year.

Commute home, on a bit of a high after being offered (and accepting) an exciting new job at the Australian Sports Commission.
