Curve shows that during this run my Max. HR=160bpm= 95%; Avg. HR = 139bpm= 83% (Robert Song will pick up any errors in this curve!)No, Not a PB! I tried really hard & did the best I could and I did take off almost 1 minute from last year's time for Fisher's Ghost 10km...67:21 to 66:30 today; so "Canberra Times" 64:45 remains the fastest 10km for this year. Lordie, Fisher's Ghost run is a hard & hilly course! I saw just 1 CR cap all morning, but there was no missing the billions of huge flies that descended after crossing the finish line....fairly swooped me up into the presentation area without having to take the steps! First in age-category ..... happily, I wasn't the only one in it!
Splits : 7:04; 6:39; 6:43; 6:39; 6:39; 6:58; 6:47; 6:33; 6:36; 5:48. (Haven't worked out yet if it's a negative or positive split!).
I think that's the last race for 2005; happy to look back & see that each one has been faster, from 1 minute (today) to 7 minutes (Fitzroy Falls) than the same races last year...I must be doing something right & that's due to having some very patient, & overly generous with time, coaching (Ewen, do you hear me?) for several months!
What's still to do? The biggest challenge of them all! "Six Foot Track - the Slower Version", Saturday, 26th November.....13 days to go!
Chickybabe looking back at 2005!
Thank you for your very kind comment on my blog. I truly appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great race in tough conditions. You have had a sensational year and have gone from strength to strength. Looking back over the year Highlight of my year, by far, was having the privilege of escorting you to the finish line at GCM. Looking forward to seeing you in Canberra next year!

Looking fo
Congrats LL! That's a huge chunk off last years time. And look at that last km!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the age group win :-)
CB, I'll just clean the wax out of my ears and I may be able to hear you.
ReplyDeleteThe SFTSV will be a challenge (to see if we can keep moving for 8 hours or more) but it'll be fun.
There's one more race to do - a 1500 metres!
Oh, I forgot that one, Ewen!!!! When is it????
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 'course' PB LL. You may not have done your fastest 10km this year but you did better than last year and that shows obvious improvement.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can be like you and continue to improve year after year. So inspiring.
Best of luck in the 1500m!
What about that last k LL!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great result and good luck for the rest of your 6' TSV prep.
Nice run. What sort of Avg and Max Heart Rate do you get in a race like that?
ReplyDeleteI'll edit the post & include the curve, RS; looks like Max. 95%; Avg. 83%!!
ReplyDeleteThe 1500m will be raced at a time yet to be determined. The pace, of course, will be way faster than 'out of sight on a dark night'!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great run Chickybabe. Fisher's Ghost is a tough course from what I've heard so a minute quicker would have been well earnt. Looking forward to meeting you at Explorer's Tree on Saturday week. What time are we starting? Belinda and I will be running with you to Cox's River before heading back.
ReplyDeleteHorrie, I'm thrilled that you & Belinda will be doing part of the course with us! I'll talk to Ewen tonight & get a starting time from him & let you know.
