Australian Masters Athletics 8km XC

Last event for this season before a short down time and starting the training cycle again. The body has survived but is weary with some sore spots. Nothing that's gonna slow me down.

Course: 4 x 2km out and back loops. Should be able to control the race visually once I build a lead.

Goals: Win running at my tempo from the start...no sitting in today...and enjoy

Outcome: See above. Left small pack comprising John Jago and Brett Roach (one other M40???) after 600m, tried to build on my lead each lap, maybe Brett pulled some time in over the last lap. Garmin's had it at 8.2km for 28:07 .

Of my friends: k=3rd overall, 1st W40-44

An easy M45 win I suspect!

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
