"Spring Track Open Meet"

For the second week in succession the sun shined on the first real challenge of the spring, the club's (Macclesfield Harriers & AC) annual track & field "Open Meet". Although we have had one league track event already this is seen as the first real chance for athletes to sharpen open for the summer season ahead. Attracting clubs from all over the north west of England it promised to be a great afternoon of sport.

The afternoon was also special because Sarah my daughter was also competing (and cheering me on even when I was getting lapped!). I ran the 3k in a season's best time whilst she won the Under 11 girl's javelin event in a pb 14.32m. following that with a pb of 2.08.09 in the 600m. A local photographer was on hand to capture our performances!

Another excellent week of running including track session (5x 1k, 1 min recovery + 4 x 22m, 1 min recovery) & some general hill running.

Weekly mileage @ 25 miles. Annual mileage 426

    Like father, like daughter... the resemblance is in the determination. Very cool.

    Looking forward to the Swift half! Phil suggested we meetup the night before at the Grouse and Claret Pub in Rowsley DE4 2EB. My family has booked a campside, and I think Steve Chopper has too. Will you come up on the day or stay over the night before?
