Sprint series race 2 Adelaide University. Long course. Course by Ethan. This was fun and I didn’t really make any mistakes just some hesitations and possibly a couple of suboptimal route choices. Reading the map a little better for this I think. With my current seemingly chronic injuries I don’t seem to have a top gear either and I’m pretty slow on stairs. Nearly 2 minutes behind Jenny but she is always much smoother with nav. Just ahead ( by a few seconds) of a bunch of youngsters who are somehow now veterans. I don’t expect this will happen very often.

Belair run up to the redwoods with new coach Wakaru on a hot evening.
I am an old crock - my ankle felt sore at the start and right glute felt sore for the last few kms.

Lunch swim. I probably need to do more swimming and less running at the moment.

Wednesday night training at Hawthorndene with Wataru. Sprint training intervals. Evalin’s last night before flying back to the US. It was sad to say goodbye.

I didn’t warm up and I tripped in a hole hurting my sore glute again, which was annoying so I jogged round very slowly. Otherwise it would’ve been fun to do try ‘head to head’ racing.

Ebike commute.

Woke up with a very sore ankle which stayed sore all day. I think every time my ankle starts to feel better I overdo it and the bursitis flares again.

I didn’t do the full warm up as I ran late -the traffic was horrible and I had to park a long way away. Session was 12 x 300, each 300 was 100 x 10 km pace, 100 x 1500 pace and 100 sprint.
My legs were sore from the sprint series and my glute protested a bit. I love these sessions but don’t manage that well if my legs are tired from Sunday - I seem to need more recovery time!

Evalin’s sprint camp day 2. Knock out sprint around Stirling, 4 separate races plus warm ups. This was a very fun day. My last race was my best, quite flowy and no brain freezes which was a pleasant change - helps I know the area and it was our second race on this side. At the front of the field there was some fast and furious racing which was fun to witness!
