Held back at the start so as not to follow Brett Cartwright, etc, but didn't hold back enough. Thought 325 would be a good pace. Ran strongly and fairly relaxed through 8km, but missed a water stop due to a bike rider on his mobile phone and posted a bad 9th km. From that point on not relaxed as the mongrel in me had come out. Muscled my way home rather than staying relaxed. Also had substantial pressure from 7th place getter who was 15 seconds back at the turn and holding. I thought Anna Thompson might have come through as well, but she must have faded in the second half.
Watched others finish including AceJase who met Captain Chunder at the 21km mark. I think Capt. Chunder is far worse than meeting cousin Capt. Chaffe. All captains are bad.
Classic moment at the 18km mark saw a lady wearing skins (early starter), elastic not up to the job, wobbling butt and crack fully exposed. Must have been letting some fresh air in. |

Same 3 places from last week, same order, gaps bigger. Managed to stay with Cavuoto for almost 2km, out very quick again, Leane dropping off, surging back on repeatedly, me on his shoulder. I couldn't handle the changes in pace. On the way back (at 3km) I snapped, lost form occasionally, struggled home. An OK run. Would need to do some 400m intervals to run with those two. Both have the wood on me now and improving by the week.
A 1km interval session planed for Thursday, then the Weston Creek Half on Sunday. Some easy days, a 5km on Thursday week, then some marathon training and not as many races. |
