Monday's training session

Last evening we ran relays from court 8 - the 400m track with the steep hill. While Dave jogged around, Warrick did laps looking more mobile every week, and I watched, the teams consisted of Trevor (new), Richard, Gwen, Jennie, Deborah D, Sév, Paul Q, Michael, Mick, Brownie, Vanessa and Craig.

333 finishers

A great day, a great course, 333 finishers, good to see Margaret and Gwen (Gwen mislaid her bar code so isn't in the results), good to see Bob and Carolyne. My time was not very good as I plodded the long uphill x 2, and held myself back on the return downhills. Great work by the organisers and course volunteers.

Thursday at training

A freezing cold change came through while we were on the cross country track training - the temperature dropped by ten degrees, the rain swept through, a gale from the west stopped us in our tracks, and with the wind chill it was probably zero degrees. Up until then we did some kilometre intervals, I totalled a satisfactory 9k. Present were Phil, Don, Lisa, Jennie, Brownie, Celina, Jacob, Jen, Isaac and me. Lisa took photos including a double rainbow.

speedygeese at Stromlo

The speedygeese will be training at the Stromlo Cross Country track today at 5:30pm. Handlebar is advertised as being open - see you there after training as well!
