A while ago I posted about the Japanese High School phenomenon Yoshihide Kiryu. Still just 17 years and 4 months, he smashed his PB by 0.18 breaking his own World Youth and equalling Darrell Brown and Jeff Demps jointly held World Junior Record. Check him out, raw power!

Out with the boys to cheer Selma as she qualified for the final, looked strong.


Saturday

10km-47:57 (4:48kms) The Bay

Watched Jared grab bronze in his first national final behind Rowe and Risely, was ridiculously pumped and picked up a nice little earner for tipping the trifecta. Benny ran well for 2nd 13:30 to get pipped by Cam who ran a blinder with a closing 800m-1:57. The highlight though was the 100m blanket finish with The Boss taking his 7th national title just ahead of 19 year old Starc leaping 2.28m to take Gold and secure a World Champs berth.


Sunday

16km-60:57 (3:48kms)

Still adrenaline charged from Jared's race, needed to calm myself down in the early kms. The bad patches were much better, that's 3min improvement in 3 weeks, good to be progressing so quickly.

159km week, good start.

121km singles, 102km solo, 90km off road, 9km longest sock free run.

2x200m (3) 3x500m (7) 28.49, 28.40, 78.0, 77.6, 77.5

Was meant to be 28.5s and 78s, not too bad considering the lights were dim and couldn't see splits on my watch so was guessing. The 200s were identical to last week. Anyway Nationals is this weekend so 'Pacey' is done for the season. I'm predicting a finals berth and possible medals for both Selma and Jared, either way it's been a big breakthrough season for them both.

Halleleujah, no vomiting for 6 months, I'm rooted! Pacer available for hire, will work for cakes:-

800m-2:00.95 3rd SOPAC 71.5kg

Went straight to the front, through in 57mid and held my lead until 750m where I proceded to die an ugly death, pretty sure the extra 3kg was the cause of that. Been pretty slack lately, Gold Coast 1/2 training starts tomorrow.

Not sure the 24 plates last night at Sushi train washed down by 3x Kirins and a tub of Cookies and Cream and sticky date pudding was a great idea...hmmmmmm

One of my favourite places on earth, home of my 100/200m pbs, finally re-opened today. Not a bad sesh considering we had to run around 50ish triathletes running very slow 400s in lane 1 of all places, all part of the charm of ES Marks, we'll train earlier next week.

Enjoyed the camp, great crew in my room. The highlight of the trip was the 5 person massage I received from 2x Olympians Vic Mitch and Benny, Hamish, World's fittest man, Greta all ably supervised by Hugh, I could've laid there forever.

Also loved being able to sit down and relax while eating. Except for the occasional weekend brekky, eating is normally frenetic. Bowl of cereal while driving to work, walking and eating during my 10min lunch break, writing programs and responding to clients/squadlets during dinner.

I've returned home completely refreshed which is surprising given the amount of massaging and running I did while away, starting to get fit.
