Bush Capital 16km

Almost to plan, 30min (before event)+5min during event) warm up, 10 min x 3 with 1 minute recovery, healthy lead, then start passing places 5 to 15 (they all took accidental 1.5km short cut missing toughest hill on the course). Last 22 minutes flat out in order to beat those who all took the short cut. Caught them all with 1km to go. Should have known better, this organiser slack with the signage since the year 2000. I almost took the same wrong turn. Easy to do when the sign is not in the 'optimal' spot (on a different track). Several others on the longer courses same problem. Finish time 60 minutes.

Of my friends: cat woman 2nd female, H 80?, Charlie 80, Minnie 81, GT with friend. YBHIFI & Kelley the 25km, Roger the 42km.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.

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.
