Training Log Archive: Craney

Proximity Triathlon as a relay with some work colleagues - ran the run leg (obviously). We were near last by the time I went out and I ended up setting off just after the 'sprint' triathlon run started. With the wind behind me, it was fun passing hundreds of people in the first couple of kms. It was also a bit too fast, and so when I turned at 2.5km (8mins) back into the wind I started to struggle. The rest of the race was quite a slog, and a bit of a battle with wind (the wind, not my wind), but I maintained around 3:35kms ok and enjoyed passing people the whole way. I had been aiming for sub-36 so was pretty happy with the time in the end.

Lunch jog around ANU with a few sprints at South Oval and even some stretching.

Bright and early again - two tempo efforts, 5mins and 10mins on bike paths. Trying to get more used to the feeling of running sub 4mpks ahead of Saturday. Managed about 3:25s on the prolonged downhill through Isaacs.

Late evening run up Taylor just before it got dark.

On a training course this week, so forced out of the door for a couple of very early runs. Did 10x500m on this one, on sealed bike paths around the Woden Valley. Felt like I was going quick but the GPS discredited that.

Lunch run from work to Remembrance Park and back. Pretty warm and muggy, took it gentle. Saw the new tram being tested on the way back.

Good long run from home to Commonwealth Park on a hilly route via tops of Farrer, Wanniassa, Isaacs and Davo. Warm and muggy morning - although I was glad to have the water on my back, the effective extra layer of clothing was annoying. Felt ok though until the last few kms.
