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.
