ACTVAC XC Handicap

18km of running this morning including the Frylink 4km XC Handicap. I ran at 100% effort and still finished only 9th over the line. Some very good performances out there today. The course pretty much down 1500m, up 500m to the turn, down 500m, up 1500m. I had to squeeze every last ounce of speed out on that final 1km up and only just managed to catch GT 50 metres before the line. That was one hard run.

This afternoon an easy loosener up Mt Painter to make it 24km for the day. With a public holiday tmoz I will be able to get in a long run to top out at 135km for the week before beginning my mini-taper for Australian Masters Games which commence for me next Saturday.

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.
