ACT Masters XC Handicap : Majura 5km and 10km
Great runs in the 10km this morning by Shane (40 mins) and Helen (47 mins) in winning the Gold medal on handicap. Both the 10km and 5km courses are among our club's toughest venues. Around 3-4 minutes slower for the 10km course and 1.5-2 minutes for the 5km course than on track.
In the 5km course I placed 17th on handicap despite one of my best runs ever in the XC series. I only caught Ken with 1km remaining and KT (18th) with 500m to go.
My last four runs have been 18:10, 18:28, 18:57 and 20:+ (injured last year) so the 17:44 today was a surprise. Splits: 3:35 (steep up then flat), 3:35, 3:35, 3:35 (on the undulating sections), 3:22 (flat then steep down). Felt great whole run.
All up 17km this morning, a loosener later this afternoon to make 24km for the day and 130km+ for the week.
Keith did a long run in the drizzle. See picture.
