Terence Bell wins in the Gold Coast

Fri:
40 mins easy with a few surges as I was keen to test the calf out

Sat:
Striders 10k in North Hd, decided to run with Durante, Conway and Timmy. If the calf got tight the plan was to drop out or to pull back. Calf held up well for around a 35.30. It was actually great not to be racing and just sitting in a pack. The legs were tiring towards the end. In fact my quads were pretty sore and stiff. It's amazing, a bit of a break and it's interesting how your legs react. I didn't stay long after the race so didn't really get a chance to catch up with many people. Some good runs by 6foot Charlie, Tucks and Uncle Dave. It's the first time that I've run the new course and it's definitely slower...

Sun:
Out with Conway, Durante, Tim and Thurston for a long one. Ended up running for 1hr 45 mins at 4.22 pace. Quads were tight but it was good to get another relatively long one under my belt. We all took turns running with Thurston for 10 mins surges and then re-grouping.

Finally well done to Terence Bell who finished 1st in the 100k race in the Gold Coast in 7hr 39 mins. Awesome result from the big fella...no movies to report on but I've just picked up 'Bride Wars', will let you know what's it like tomorrow...
