Australian Masters Athletics Championships Update
Looks like the 10000m will be on in the morning. I already have accommodation booked for Thursday night. The cross country will be held in Yarra Bend Park. I've raced there 3 times and lived across the creek from the likely course. Probably a 2km loop. Flat on two levels with a very steep short hill (up one direction, down the other) on each loop. Nice view of the Melbourne skyline. See the attached image. If they use this course an athletics track with clubroom facilities is across the road.
The famous Yarra Bend tea rooms are next to the crossy course:-) I sure hope they are open.
Weather? You can expect anything from Melbourne. Something like the low teens in the morning and the low 20s mid-afternoon on a nice day. Most wind comes off the bay from the south or south west. I've rarely known it not to be windy in Albert Park.
