ACT Masters 10000m Championships

Weather not as bad as it was earlier in the day. Started the run at 32 degrees light winds, I finished at 30 degrees no wind, very low humidity. I had Minnie handing me a bidon or cup of water every lap except the first lap. That got me around 25 laps in better shape than all the other competitors. Minnie said those who took no water totally cracked in the second half. One or two had the wobbles.

I only got 3 laps in before I cooked. I found a steady rhythm at 85 second laps to get me home safely. Now the fun begins...a month of 1500m / 800m training and racing (unless I get injured in the process). Next week on track a Mile and a 3000m. Next set on grass at Stromlo. I'll see how I feel on day to decide set. I ran to work this morning, felt good.

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.
