Noosa 5km this weekend

I’ve been getting back into some regular training, and the 5km road race in Noosa this weekend should be fun.  At least it’s shorter than the Burnie 10km! In a 5km race, by the time you realise it’s not actually that much fun after all, you’re almost finished.  Apart from the race, I’m looking forward to enjoying the Noosa festival, with the triathlon on Sunday being the highlight.  One of my sisters lives nearby so I’ll be able to catch up with her as well.

Burnie 10 Results

In very windy and hot conditions, Donna finished 6th Female in the Burnie 10 this weekend. She was the 1st Tasmanian Female in a time of 0:35:26 only 5 seconds slower than the last time she ran this race in 2006. Considering the lead up to the race was Donna’s “rest period” after the Olympics, this is a great result.

Running for Fun

I have enjoyed some time off serious training, and I’m now looking forward to a couple of fun runs in the next few weeks.  This Sunday I will run in the Burnie 10…it’s not my favourite distance but I enjoy the atmosphere of road racing and especially running in my home State.  On November 1st I will make my debut in the Noosa 5km Bolt.  I’ve wanted to do this race for the past few years.  It will be a different style of race with only a small field of elite runners (only runners who can run faster than 20.00 mins for 5km are allowed to enter).  There are two other Olympians running this year as well, so I’ll have my work cut out!
