It was slow but I managed to get around old faithful.
I waded in the pool up to my waist for 10mins after.
It is now far too cold for swimming but hopefully the sub 20 O C temps help
control post run swelling.
Later in the day my knees were painful so I took an anti inflam.
I saw this article online here;
Ballarat veteran distance runner Steve Moneghetti led in a hometown trifecta in the Victoria Open 15km Road Championships around Lake Wendouree on Saturday.
Moneghetti, competing for Ballarat YCW, claimed the title for the first time in two decades in a time of 46:32 ahead of Duer Yoa (46:41) and Nathan Hartigan (46:44). Yoa had finished just seconds ahead of Moneghetti over the 10km course of the Sandown Classic in late May, but the extra racing distance proved to be to the advantage of the former Olympic marathoner.
Ben Ashkettle was first across the line in 46:20, but as an invitational runner was not eligible for the state title - leaving the next three to collect the medals.
Ashkettle, 20, is based in the United States at Northern Arizona University and only arrived back in Australia a couple of days ago.
It was a similar scenario in the open women's championship with South Australian invitation entrant Tara Palm first home. Palm, who was the second woman home at the Sandown Classic in May, continues to go from strength to strength, with her winning time of 51:42 good enough for a three minute victory over Kathryn Ewels (55:00), who was crowned state champion.
Kristy McCarthy (55:17) and Tarli Bird (55:21) took away the silver and bronze medals respectively in a close finish.
