Deepwater 7.5k race.

27:18

Came 7th in a pretty strong field with Epi and B’man finishing 8th and 9th respectively, so it was good for all of us to get a top ten finish, well done guys. The Baugh boys both ran really well finishing 1st and 4th respectively.


Race was underway and Epi and B’man skipped to a little lead and then I caught up with Simon at approx 500m and then we passed Epi at approx a km. Simon and I then continued to run together until approx 2.5km which was under the Mt Henry Bridge when I went a little in front. From then on I was running on my own with the guy in front of me a fair way in front. Thought there would be a nice tailwind behind us after we’d gone over Canning highway but that was not to be and so the last 1.5km or so was a bit of a slog as there was a bit of a crosswind but still managed 3:40’s.


What I’m really happy with is that the toe was fine and I managed to race with no bandages or patt strap which is the first time in a number of years. The DS Trainers were great to run in again.


I’m going to claim a 5k pb based on garmin today of 17:46 :).

Week in Summary 80k@4:17, last week 66.4k@4:36

Broken little toe

Broke my little toe on Mon afternoon after accidently kicking it, got an x-ray on Wed and then stopped running for a few days before going for a 40 minute run-8.7k this afternoon. Thanks Epi for your help re the toe and the advise from the specialist.

Week in Summary 28.8km running 141.4km cycling

Toe felt pretty good on today's run, there was some mild discomfort but things are looking good. Other good news is when I have run I haven't worn either my pattstraps or bandages for adductors so really happy with progress on the leg exercises I'm doing.

Big congrats

Main reason for post is to pass on big congrats to Epi and Sugar for doing big pb's in the 10k and Marathon respectively and to Biscuitman for doing a great 5k at PWC, great work guys

It was great to go down to Coker Park to see the John Gilmour race, only saw the tailend of the over 40 minute run with TB flying home and then watched and cheered Epi for his 10k pb. It was nice to see Roberto Busi break 30:30 for the 10k and seeing Gerry, Cody and a ferw of the other guys run really well.

Last Week in summary 87.93k@4:28
