ANSW XC Relays + 20km-89:50 (4:29kms)

Randwick Botany Over 35's 2nd - 14:42

A bit wet and muddy, but road like conditions compared to the 2 previous times I'd raced there. Sean 14:18 and Jim 14:28 both always race hard in the club colours so pretty clear from their times that the course was tough. Copey 13:34 took us past Kembla and Sutho and I started the final leg in 2nd about 1min 30sec behind Simon White from Wests and 1min ish clear of Nick Bennett from Sutho in 3rd. Ended up being a bit of a fizzer with nobody for company, I attacked the 1st km in case there was any hope of catching Wests and to discourage Sutho on their home course. We ended up holding similar margins all the way to the finish I gained 16sec on Simon and lost 8sec to Nick.

Sydney Uni won the Opens, their B team was 26sec clear of the A team going into the final leg. Nipper ran fastest leg of the day 12:13. The Colt Harry Summers was 2nd fastest 12:23 on the back of his 10000m at Stanford, 10km in outback NQ, 1/2 marathon in Japan, Vic 10km all in the past 6 weeks, if that wasn't enough he got stuck into a 10.5km tempo straight after finishing his leg, he's headed for something special this guy.

Jumped straight in the car and headed for Centennial Park planning on an easy 12km but ended up doing 20km.


Sunday

24km-1:54.40 (4:47kms) Solo The Bay
