Picture from the Past
Kathy and Maureen having won gold and silver in the 800m Nationals in Adelaide. In that race, they crossed the line almost together, and Kathy set a new ACT record, which Maureen went on later to break.
"Must-Have" for training - the Nike Parachute.
As if I am not running slow enough already.

Stromlo training saw Bronwyn and me decide to run 10x200 with a 100 jog, then an extra 3x200 with a 100 jog because "coach felt good". But the wind was bitterly cold and I ran with three layers on. I expect to see those who weren't there running the sprint-marathon tomorrow. Rug up. We aren't acclimatised to eleven degrees with a strong southerly which adds a significant "wind chill factor". Oh, and happy birthday Bronwyn & Tim's mum, 66! (That old!)
*A "Sprint-Marathon" is a continuous relay race where runners do one km (and one two km) intervals with a long rest while their team mates take their turn. Each runner might cover 7km in total, or more because after their last run they keep going until all runners in the team cross the finish line together. It is run on a loop course, and the total distance the baton travels is meant to be a marathon (42.195k). We conduct it annually in February when it is allegedly warm enough to be standing around. It is a popular event with I guess about six to eight teams competing each year.
