Weekend Wrap Up.........

27 May 2006

CR 5K Challenge.

Horrie had offered to pace during the week for 23 minutes. I was unsure if I could manage to drop another 15 seconds off my 5k time to go sub 23, but I thought I'd have a go.

Arrived feeling a little nervous and Blue Dog assured me I'll be okay, just stick to the pace. I took off with Horrie and Redback and just tried to hold on. It amazed my how they were chatting to each other while I was just trying to breathe. In the last kilometre, I started to heave, well quite a few times, but tried to keep going. In finished with a 1 second PB, which was well earned. Thanks guys.
Followed by nice jog back I ran into a few of the girls and shared a nice chat, the breakfast.

Headed out to SMC today, as it was the last race of the series. I had arranged to run with Plu as a were both running the 25km for a training run. It was a really nice morning, nice comfortable pace. We finished in 2hrs 26 minutes. It was nice to see the usual familiar faces, and great to see Redback out there again.

I am off this afternoon for a "team bonding" get together with the Striders female NSW winter athletics team.
