Roo+Lake PB!

Sat 5.00pm 11km Roo+Lake 38m20

In yesterdays post I said

"Now I'm not going to be silly and race Roo+Lake tomorrow because I know I would still be disappointed (I'm not even close to top 5 on Roo+Lake) "

So what do I do today?

I race Roo+Lake and set a new course record!!

With other family commitments (3 games of football spread though out the day and Natalie going out for the evening )meant I did not have time to get down the track or do anything other than a quick run from home.

I wanted an intensive session so I thought 'why not' do what I said I wouldn't and run Roo+Lake as hard as I could?

I have done this run hundreds of times so to set a fastest ever run time took full commitment. It was pretty cool and no wind, also it was afternoon (body warmed up) , so for me it was prime running conditions .

I stress at times I believe I can go faster that standard race pace on a course I know inside out.

38m20 is a fantastic time when I consider just a few short months back on my return from injury I ran this course in a demoralizing 52mins! I consider anytime under 46min a pretty good hit out. Funny thing is next weekends race Lakes College 10KM fun run includes a large portion of Roo+Lake but is run in the opposite direction and of course does not start and finish at my house!!
