Rutherglen Fun Run 10km

Cold, foggy, windy, hilly. Five of us fighting it out from the start. Everything you would expect from young triathletes / athletes with surging and nobody happy to run in a pack. Splits: 1km 3:00, 4km 12:53, 5km 16:08 (wow!), 8km 26:53, 10km 34:38. 4th, 1st M50+. Never more than 150m between top 4, 5th place dropped off at 6km. From the turn at 6.5km dead straight into the wind and a series of four long hills. Near the finish the gaps closed up, top 4 finished in rapid succession, less than 30 seconds 1st to 4th. Very happy, aggressive whole race.

In the Afternoon a bouncy 10km at 4:00/km, 24km for the day, 132km for the week.

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.
