Tuesday was next - a 5km recovery walk which was done in 31.41 - in this walk I was tired....really really tired. Nothing in my muscles at all.
Thursday was my 5km fartlek which I opted to do on the walk way due to bad weather expected in the afternoon. time for this was 29:36 - It felt easier than I expected, I had my B12 injection the night before so that may have helped.
Saturday was to be 10km....but this didnt eventuate. On Friday I woke being sick and ended up coming home from work to be sick again. By Saturday I had hardly eaten and was still feeling very sick.
Sunday was Race Day. I got up and was still not feeling 100% .... I got to the track and realised I had left my watch behind. What a stupid thing to do....so my choice was to race "naked" No watch, I figured I would use the timing clock on the track. HA the timing clock failed and was a minute out of sync with us
We started at 8.30am and it was hot....but then again its always hot here lol. With no watch or track clock I had no idea of my time so I figured I can only walk to the best of my fitness. At about 2km I passed Paul and continued on after Dean and Gorge Michael (our guest walker from Isle of Man) I had no chance of catching them but as they passed me I did try to stay behind them. At about 4km I was working out that the clock was about a minute off and so could see that I was going to be under 30mins but I was not sure by how much. I managed a strong finish with a 29:17

Then two hours later we all lined up again for the 1500m .... now this one I really hate. I am NOT a sprinter and my legs felt like they were made of lead. But for participation I thought why not. Total time was a slow 8:29
