World Masters Athletics Championships : Women 5000m

We had Kathy W65 and Helen W55 competing in the 5000m today. Weather was warm and windy. Times were good despite conditions not being ideal. Both Kathy and Helen competed in separate races. All were standout events, truly world class.

Both Helen and Kathy went through 3000m in 13:00, Helen 21:53 6th W55 and Kathy 22:08 4th W65. Both ran really well with Helen backing up from 2 days ago in the cross country, Kathy first race of the championships.

At another track Scott finished a close 5th in M55 800m final, top result in a rough race.

I had a lazy day, a short warm up with Helen including 5 x 100m strides. Tomorrow is my 5000m day.

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.
