Cool, you sound pretty active. :)  I've completed my transition, with my
distance range mainly 100-400 metres, with the occasional 60m at state and
national Masters meets.  Early signs from last Saturday are that I appear to
have compensated for a year of ageing, but yet to prove any actual improvement
in my actual times - they started out about the same as last year (but slightly
better age grading ;) ).

But it's early in the season, and I don't think I've fully integrated my
specialised off season training yet (which will require a lot more repetition).

I did finish my winter season on a good note with a 5k PB of 23:31 2 weeks ago
- a time I certainly haven't seen in the past 20 years, if ever.  A combination
of good fitness, a fast, but not perfectly flat course and a well timed coffee
appear to be the winning combination! :D  I was never great at distance, but
slowly improving with age.  More built for speed. :)
