Track session last night which was good as the outside loop was a bit of a mess. The clubhouse is being renovated into a huge double story stands and inside areas. It looks pretty amazing with a 300 degree glass room looking out over the athletics track and the netball courts. However there are lots of construction things around so the outside loop was blocked off with building equipment.
Apparently there are plans to replace the track at the end of the year as well as it is in a bit of a sorry state. Once everything is finished DMK will be an amazing facility. There's even a filming and commentating box for filming races and getting photo finishes.
Did the warm up and some strides on the grass before starting out. Lesley told us the session of 6 x 400m, 4 x 200m with 1 minute passive between the 4's and 200m float for the 2's. Sam and Will out the front, then Matt and I following behind. I did the recoveries with Matt as my watch really struggles with recoveries.
Times for the 400's went : 68s, 71s, 69s, 69s, 69s, 69s
Matt started really fast on all of them so I tried to hold on and kick down the back straight. Worked well and I got a gap during the 200 jogs. I'm starting to get used to these faster recoveries. Apparently the last one was really close with him starting ab 10 yrds behind and gaining the whole way around. I few shouts spurred me on and I managed to stay ahead although if we started together, it wouldn't have happened.
Times were: 31s, 31s, 30s, 30s
Great training although it tipped down on the cool down. 10.8 all together.
House aths was meant to be Wednesday but it was cancelled because of weather worries. Turned out to be an amazing day but it was rescheduled to Friday, so we'll see how that goes.
