Sat...off to Narranderra

I took Charlie out to Narranderra not long after trotters had started their time trial. We left Terrigal about 6:25am. We had to stop for a smash on the Hume hwy just before Mcdonalds. We had 2 other stops & got to Narranderra about 1:40ish. Long drive out there.

Our race was at 4:35pm for the 1600m & 6:35pm for the 550m. I had a bit of a rest at the cabin & not long later Jono & Rach & their kids arrived. We left for the gift about 3ish. I spent about 4k warming up.

The race was one of the toughest 1600m I've ever done. I was going pretty good until the last 400m. My body got so lactic so quick! I ended up in last pace but was totally stuffed at the end.

It took me until 6:10pm before I could get up & jog around. Thats about 90min after the race had started. Jono also suffered for the same amount of time.
At 6:35pm I went in the 550m & knew I wouldn't go any good in this as I'm not conditioned for this short stuff. I came last in that but did feel much better after. I then went for a warmdown with Jono & Charlie & I decided to run easy 6k. I was again feeling normal after that.
Jono won the 1600m & Charlie got 3rd.
After the races had all finished we made our way to the pub for some food that the NSWAL had put on. Great night of racing!
