XCR09 Geelong

Last Saturday saw the running of the traditional 10mile race at Geelong's Eastern Park. I had no plans to race it, but more of a tempo run over 16kms.

It was a 4x4km laps course and the conditions were windy, though the trees sheltered the wind.

So anyway, right now I'm a bit lazy to write a blog like Jeremy's. So anyway. First lap was okay, lap two was mixed. The first half I managed to get a break on Lincoln, before he came flying past me. The third lap I struggled a little and slowed. But managed to pick it up over the last lap and ran about 1minute outside my 15k PB and finished in 1:15:29.

Sure it's not overly great but it gives me something to work with toward the Melbourne Half.

This arvo I entered the Sandy Point Half for Sunday week (I think?) so I reckon I'm looking at 1:38. More or less, I have three halfs in the next 3months. Sandy Point, AV Burnley and Melbourne Half. I wanna run them in 1:38, 1:36 and 1:35. That will tick the boxes as to what I wanted to do this year. If I run better in the first two then I'll re-draw my goals.

Sweet!
