Stromlo XC 5km

Cool, breezy, damp, brown grass, firm surface, ropes making a false lane, the course 50m or so longer than normal, big kangaroos with huge biceps looking on. Loads of runners in the 16min+range but none quicker. Turned into a surging affair with a big sprint against Emily B at the finish, male winner barely holding on.
sb 2nd 16:21, ybhifi 18high, l&p 19, kt 20:00.62, genie 22:02, Minnie with the dog.

Within a second of my time in March this year, 6 seconds from my PB...definitely a PB if the ropes were not there.

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.
