Arrived 10 am this morning felt pretty good this temperature hope it stays like this for race day.
Staying at the Rydges Capital Hill.
Met my parents for lunch at Royal Canberra Golf Club.
Had the chef make me the pasta I wanted.
Would like to play this course one day. It has 27 holes.
Back to the hotel later and walked over to the expo to pickup my number 516.
Watched all the fun of the 5 and 10k races.
A wedding party went through in 2 cars just before the start of the race. Big cheer from the crowd.
Highlight was watching Mister G and Spud pace Clairie around the 10k course.
Everytime Clairie ran past she received more cheers than Pharlap winning the Melbourne Cup.
Clairie in the hot afternoon heat managed a PB with a 46:59.
Two PB's in two days. Excellent.
Met Eddie Brisbane Cool Runner for the first time.
Went to the pasta party later for dinner at the Rydges.
Pat Carroll spoke about pacing and remaining focused during the race and most important relax beforehand.
Talked to Springer and Professor about race nerves during the dinner.
Went back to the room afterwards and relaxed watching the swannies beat the Lions in the AFL after the siren. Huge!
Now some sleep.
