Congratulations to top performers, Mick and Kevin.
Monday night turned out cool and breezy for Parliament House training, where a large area was fenced off as preparations were underway for Friday's huge Australia Day Concert. We improvised an anaerobic relay - Five teams of four runners each team with two batons running E-W sprints in a continuous relay across the grass between the flagpoles. So at any given time two runners from each team were sprinting and two were recovering. The first set saw each runner have ten sprints: team membership was "random". The second time I put the fastest runners into a team, the next fastest into the next team and so on; then ran a set which finished when every runner of team coming last had completed ten sprints. Training were Alan, Amanda, Annette, Bronwyn, Cathy, Christine O, Emma, Ewen, Gary, moi, Jodie, Joel, Kathy, Ken, Margaret, Mick C, Mick H, Neil, Rachelle, Tim, Yelena. Next week I plan to have an easy session on Monday, as it is a public holiday, it is the day after many of us race the Campbell Park handicap, and it is the day before the Cross Country Club's first Summer Series race at Stromlo, a very attractive 5k on grass.
Birthdays
Charlie was 43 yesterday. Maria will be 53 Friday. And did you know that one of our friends, Terri Jones, is 70 today? No way does she look 70! What a great advertisement for Veterans Athletics!
