ACT Masters Higgins Pennington 800m Handicap 1st 2:17.42

Weather ideal, top 5 all talent in close competition. I ran my own race solo as did the others, the same way as I train with my best saved for the end. Splits: 69, 68 = 2:17.42. Once again almost identical pace I ran my 600m peak efforts on XC in the last fortnight (1:41). That means a 1:39 will get me 2:14 or so. That's what I'll aim at in coming weeks. I ran a 3000m handicap race to finish off the evening in under 3:20/km, 4th on handicap.

I't party time tomorrow. I'll cobble a set together on Saturday at Stromlo.

Steve ran some 3 minute efforts, best effort back into the 3:20s/km. Keith ran 5 x 800m efforts untimed.

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.
