 Run
Comments: this was the longest run I have ever attempted and I was nervous that I would struggle even though I have trained. I was trying to see how bad it felt so I can gauge how much pain I am going to be in during the run leg of the Olympic triathlon in January. Anyway - I felt FINE! I struggled a little at the 6km mark but I was very very happy with my performance - I aimed to complete in 60 minutes and I did it in 53 minutes - so I was very very happy, plus it felt quite good! I saw a movie called "Touching the Void" on Friday night and that made me keep going (see it if you want to know why! Incredible true story of survival and determination) What would you do differently?: SLEEP the night before and PREPARE my gear the night before. I would also train more and work on the pyschological aspect of the run (my body had no pain, it was very hot, but I had no pain and in my mind I still wanted to stop, WHY?)  Post race
Warm down: WAter, water, water, had a quick swim with jack (my 2 yr old) and walked 2 kms to stretch out, got home and slept for 2 hours while jack slept - BLISS! What limited your ability to perform faster: preparation, mental strength Event comments: Well, I am confident with more training before Jan 23rd (Olympic) that I will complete that course without dying and I could even go faster, just maybe, you never know. I was very happy with what I did today! Last updated: 2004-12-01 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 600 Melbourne | Subject: RE: Sussan Women's Fun Run Excellent time!!! Congrats!!! My dream is to do a 10km in under an hour. It'll happen one day. I, like you, was enjoying the run, no pain, a little hot, but my mind was telling me to stop...thankfully pushed through. Would have been disappointed otherwise. Would love to know why it happens!! |

Woke up in a frantic panic, ate weetbix, banana and drank oj and water - I went out the night before and ended up getting only 5 hours sleep and forgot to pack my bag the night before - LESSON LEARNT - DO NOT GO OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE A RACE AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO GO BEFORE YOU GO TO BED!!!!!!
light stretching and a little jogging - just what I normally do for my training runs
