Sunday, 23 March 2008 - Stawell Gift Day 2

I was pretty fatigued last night after my race, but luckily the motel has an outdoor pool and I was able to spend 20 minutes doing some cold water recovery. It helped immensely!

I was in a race today - the Novice 1600 - which I was probably more chance to pick up some money in

Felt like I was pushing pretty hard through the race, but in the end could manage only 11th place and a slightly slower time than yesterday. This time around 4:11 and an equivalent time of 4:24 over 1500 metres

Perhaps I was not running as relaxed as yesterday but still the Stawell carnival is a big step up in standard so a pretty satisfactory performance to finish 11th ahead of 14 other runners. With a bit of luck and a better mark I can set my sights on this race for next year

Another cold water recovery should see me right for my 2 mile race tomorrow. Not sure how I will go but think I have a reasonable chance of another top 10 finish off my mark of 260 metres

TOTAL DISTANCE = 5.5 kilometres including warm up and warm down
