Brand new running track
And tonight we race on the brand new running track at the AIS. Let's hope the surface is rain proof as it is supposed to be. And level. Because, you see, much to everyone's surprise, not to mention the cat's, there has been some light overnight rain in Canberra. I think I will run in "everything" tonight but run very very very slowly. But at 180bpm of course.

Yesterday's BBQ Stakes
I "ran" about 29:50, satisfactory if I can improve next time, and Roger about 36:40, better than he thought after Sunday's mountain racing. I started off my correct handicap start and was very surprised to come second last, not last.

Relay team result at Brindabella; An informed source tells me that there were two speedy geese teams, the first team, in 4:18.48, were Peter McDonald, Richard Faulks, Mick Horan and Geoff Sims in that order, and the fifth team, in 4:48.31, who were also the first all women’s team, were Rachelle E-B, Charlie McCormack, and Maria O’Reilly in that order, with Maria running both legs three and four. No splits are available.

Stretch 9 - Trunk Extensors

Sit with your back straight, knees bent, and toes pointed slightly up. Tuck your chin and contract your abs to pull your body forward. Grasp the sides of the lower legs to gently assist.
