Saturday in the Lithgow gift

Big weekend of racing & hard running & loved every bit of it.....so lets start with Saturday. Well Up at 5am & had a bite to eat the headed down to Terrigal for the Brooks Hill 10k time trial.
I had no plans of racing this, just starting easy & finising hard which is what I did. The new course was tough at the end. I ended up doing 40:06 so a good solid run in that. Not long after we were off to Lithgow for the 5k. There were 4 of us in this. Josh, Charlie, Carl Barker & me. We were to race at 1:30pm & got there aound 12 so we had a bit of time to relax.
We were lucky we didn't end up in Canberra (thats another story!)
They had some pretty fast runners at this event.
The first 2 guys ran something like 13min.....now that is flying! They just happened to be in the same team. The guy who came 3rd was in their team & even the 1st girl who was like only 16 or some bloody young crazy age was also in thier team. (she ran around 15 or 16min!) So they took 1st place out quite easy.
The team that came 2nd were from the Blue mtns & the were fast as well.....well we took 3rd! yipee. Josh got lost but still came in around 17min as did Charlie. Carl got me at the turn around & I found racing at 1000m altitude really really hard. Carl came in just over 18min & I got 18:21.
Ayway 3rd place ment we took home $200 for the team so $50 each.

Carl managed to also win another $50 in the barrel draw. Not bad for someone staying in room 13!....welldone Carl!

Almost ready to go home & we find out we are racing Sunday in a 8k for Charlie & 16k for me at 8am. We watched Josh in the mile (got 4th) the the final of the 200m then headed home.
Well that our Saturday. Great day, great fun!
