Stromlo XC 4 x 800m ; Keith in Bemboka and Melbourne

First 5000m pacing session of the year. We chose the uphill 800m stretch with a couple of flat and slight down elements to break the rhythm. Steve and I (2:37,2:35, 2:35,2:35). We had the beeping watch set on 20 for the 100m yellow posts and were comfortably under on each effort. Jane had 2:52,2:52,2:53,2:53 with similar efforts. That's quite impressive for all of us...well under 3:10/km on track equivalent and in the 3:30s for Jane which match some of her efforts on road in the morning.

Keith races in Melbourne again this weekend. Similar course to last time but not the same. Keith also did a 4.5km in Bemboka which matched the pace we did at Stromlo. Every number I see from Keith makes me believe he is in the form of his life...looking forward to Canberra Times Fun Fun where we can all measure against each other.

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.
