Mister Unpopular

Yesterday I spent the day watching a couple of the youngesters from my squad who had qualified for the Victorian Primary School T&F Champs in Bendigo. Teagan & Chelsea had qual at their school, then Districts, then Regions before competing at States, so making it means you are in the top 16 in the entire State.



Teagan competed in TJ (5th) and the 60m H (7th), Chelsea who raced the first 600m to aggressively and ended up 10th, but I was so proud to be a part of their day.

Now to my 'heading'.... a warm day in Melb, probably just over 30 degrees, but by the time training started it was 27 degrees, but of course the day had taken some toll and it was suggested that I needed to change the set, but I stuck to the session for numerous reasons.

• 4x200 (my times - 41)


• 2x400 (83)


• 1x600 (2:06)


• 2x400 (83)


• 4x200 (41)

I've done this set before, but today I was more stringent with the recovery times and strongly encouraged the set times. But Jo, Michelle & Claire were not convinced, but to my set...

• 38.56 / 39.00 / 39.49 / 38.61


• 81.51 / 79.37


• 2:04


• 81.34 / 80.14


• 39.49 / 38.45 / 36.92 / 35.00

The heat took its toll, but the wind was good for our track. I made some minor changes for some of the girls, but to Jo's credit she stuck it through, but I don't think Stu the Coach is too popular tonight..... oh well it will benefit, I know that!
