Western Metro Regional Little Aths Relay Champs were yesterday, my role was as the U9 boys coach and on the day I was asked to look after the mixed U9 teams too, 10 teams all up and heats and finals, so lots of races. Overall I predicted 3 teams would make it through to States, happily 2 have made it, U9 boys medley (100, 100, 200 & 400) and a mixed 4x200, the other team finished 3rd and could progress on time, but I think not. A fun day and some nervous times for various reasons, but I think the 8 boys had a good time. For readers who are not aware of Little Aths, U9s is the first year of Championship racing, so it was all new! I gave the boys the night off, so I decided to take advantage and catch up with some old friends.
A quick email to Sal (for anyone who has run with S2F will know Sal), she would be there so I decided it would be a nice way to get a few kms in and catch up and say hi to a few faces. I jumped in with the 8k group, according to Garmins around me, 7.9km in 37:10. With a 1.5km jog and a 1k jog back to my car, it was a nice way to get 10k in for the day. Running in view of the Nylex Clock, showed 32 degrees tonight at 6:30pm.
