| 3000m 928 (306,311,309) 1500m 438approx
Possibly best conditions all year and fewest runners on the track to lap. Logical to do a season's best...just. Relatively even splits. Felt like I worked hard the whole way round. Maybe started a tad too slow, but no complaints. An OK run.
1500m was a handicap in the Pennington series which I already had sewn up. Didn't need to run it and almost didn't, but got to the line tired but in one piece...then we missed the start by a couple of seconds. No help from the 3 guys I started with, ran through the field comfortably, looked up with 650m to go, KC way out in front still had 120 metres on me. I lifted but could only reel in 20m in each 100m. At the bell he was 60 metres up. At 200m he kicked and was still 25 metres in front. Nailed him at the 80m mark, sat on him for 2 seconds, then finished it off down the straight. That was a close one. |

Like a drag race today. Cavuoto took off, Leane in pusuit, me on his tail. The places stayed the same, gap quite small until the turn, then the gaps opened up on the way home. It felt like a very fast start for me. Struggled with a speed induced stich in the last 1.5km. With an odd distance I didn't really put in as usual comiing into the finish.
A curious side note...March 2003 same course
Cavuoto, Imhoff/P, Leane, Osmond

Cavuoto, Leane, moi, Osmond.
similar times except moi a minute quicker this time around. |

| Ronning race (ACTVAC 10km Champs) 33:55 [5]10 km (3:24 / km) | |
| |
| Ran a conservative first half in 16.44, almost ideal weather except the puddles in lane 1 and about 30 runners to lap multiple times, one bend out to lane 5. I remember looking up at the 7km mark, no one in front of me for 150m, then looked further, saw a rugby scrum just in front of that. Drifted to marathon tempo in the second half, watching the clock just close enough to ensure a 33 something. Didn't quite lap Jackie twice, who was 3rd.
Splits:317,320,320,322,323,326,327,328,328,320
Lesson for the 5km in 2 weeks...start quick and make a good time early because once the lapping hordes of runners thing happens nearly impossible to get a quick couple of laps in. |

| Pennington Series 800m handicap 2.14 1st
Needed a win (3rd would have done) to clean sweep the series (800/1500/3k). Rounded up all but the top 2 by 300m to go, took the lead with 150 to go, tied up a little in the straight, won by 2 seconds.
Geoff Moore Series 3000m 9.57 Splits (328,327,302) 1st
My 7th run in the series, already won, so a freebie to enjoy. Ran the first 2km at marathon tempo, felt very easy, ramped it up over the last km. Jackie Fairweather was second. |

| Acton Ferry Terminal 5km 16.52 7th
After running topless a week or two ago, decided to do it in a tracksuit today. Cooked myself after 1km, by 1.5km I was thinking about deviating to run through some sprinklers, by 2km I was looking for puddles, by 3km I had my shirt off carrying it, at 4km I ran through 3 sprinklers and lost the 2 guys I was running with, the last km was way too far away from the lake or else I would have swam it. Slowest time for the year but still a 16 something. |

More a tempo run than a race. Did 4x100, 400/68sec on first warm up. Felt Ok but tired. Never got pumping after second warm up. Felt ok throughout, just sluggish first km, then slowed as the lapping runners began. |

| Weston Park 5km xc 15.54 2nd
Best run of the year for me. Let Cavuoto run alone for 1km while I sat on Leane, the jumped across the gap, took it to him and gapped him straight away before he came back at me just before the turn. Held him close until 1.5km to go when he slowly pulled away. I came back at him coming into the finish, but not to get close to him...just to make sure I got a 15 something. |
