Today started with picking C & D up for their race today at Werribee Sth on the beach, wow it was a tad cool... 5 degrees at 8.30am. This course is generally a little tough but is probably the 3rd hardest for WLAC, but the Wyndham Council have made some changes and have increased the sand area and removed a lot of the grass. The 1k course had approx 150-200m on grass and some of the sand was quite soft.
I decided I would run a few laps today of the course, so when the group walked the course I jogged it and I told the organiser that I thought this course was now the toughest! I ran another lap as the 'rabbit' for the U6-8 race, then I ran another lap when the U9-10 race were walking to the start for their 1500m race, then I ran another 2 whilst other races were in progress without getting in the way. All up 5km predominantly on sand, but all easy.

This arvo the Club pack run was at the You Yangs, but as many of us are regulars, we decided to start in a different spot, so we started at the Big Rock car park, which meant we would be running in different areas. A few different groups of paces and abilities, I decided to take Michelle and Jo around Big Rock and then towards the front of the park which is much flatter. We started at a fairly casual pace and strolled along trails and a few soft dirts, around the 16 min mark I picked up the pace for 8-10 min and told Mich to continue on a the same pace and then turn when we did and Jo cam e along for the increase in pace. All up approx 43 min run for the girls, I felt the need to do an extra lap of the rock to get my stride, so 48 for me.
