Back On Track
Its our TT next Tuesday so that meant 500m reps yesterday. I was rapt to record my best ones in months - 1:55, 1:52, 1:57, 1:55, 1:58, 1:52. The first, third and fifth are slightly uphill ... which means the others are slightly downhill :-) I couldn't have done it if it wasn't for the little pack of 8 or so of us that I ran in, we dragged eachother along each time.
Did another lunchtime run today, 15k in 1:13.30 (av 4:54s). Though I pushed harder in the second half to negative split it by 1m30s. Feels like a good start to the Melbourne Marathon training.
A more few pics from the GC (thanks Pat!). Let's hope I feel this good in the final kilometre in October .... or at any stage of the race for that matter :-)

Good to see you're doing well Tesso. Oh, did you go to the footy on Monday ? Great game huh ? Bwhahaha :-]
Very impressive reps. You look great in the picture, far too good for a marathon.
They are great pictures. You were obviously enjoying enjoying it.
fantastic photos tesso. You must have been running well if you had time to play aeroplanes.
Thats too happy. You should have run faster. Melbourne in October should be fast then.
You always look so happy racing :)
By the time Melbourne marathon comes around you'll be flying past the camera so fast you'll just be a blur!
Ah Tesso! that must be a great feeing to be running so well. You look like you are in heaven.
Stop making marathons look easy!
You'll have to top that with cartwheels or 'Toyota jumps' in Melbourne :)
Yes as Eddie and Ewen,
You look like an Oscar winner, a valium user and a born again Christian all rolled into one.
Hallelujah!
Noice pics and splits!!
Big things acomin' in the Premier state (no no premier state that should be)
I'm joining the queue late here but I want to say well done too. They're great splits Tess and you are having a purple patch for sure. I can't see any reason why it can't be an extended one.
Great to see you running so strongly, this will be a good TT for you.
i love the photos, because you seem like this was just best 2 km fun run ever. you look strong and happy.
So at what point in the race were those photos taken? You were looking great! I probably won't be doing the C2S this year - having real problems with motivation at the moment :-(
Thats some fast splits Tesso. Seems you were having far too much fun though at GC. We will expect good things at Melbourne.
Tesssssoooooo!
Have just logged into my emails and discovered today was perhaps your last (EVER!) day in Brisbane!
A thousand apologies for not getting to say goodbye. You have had a huge impact on both my running and my career and I will truly miss you!
You have been a wonderful inspiration to me and a great friend. Thank you for all your supportive and wise words.
All my bests and I look forward to catching up with you soon!

Yes, Tesso is it true? Have you defected to hostile territory. Once a Queenslander, always a Queenslander I say. I hope you remember the colour of your spots.
great piccies tesso.
youre flying!!
disagree with scott tho - u could never be a 'born again' - you'd hate the music! ;)
Of course in my absence I knew you would still be running strong. Keep up the great work!
I love the pics, Tess! Hope to see you in Sydney or Melbourne or....somewhere!
I want to get to the finish without doing a calf or anything else silly. Not backing off much this week, so would be happy with 65-70. OK, an 'A' goal would be within 5 minutes of your time.
I remember you saying "folks are dumb where I come from"... now it all makes sense ;)
See you Sunday.
Looks like you`re on a holiday of sorts too tesso. What are you up to and where you going?
