ACT Masters XC Handicap Stromlo 8280m

This morning the ACT Masters XC Handicap at Stromlo over 8000m. Course was out and back twice, taking in all the big hills in both directions. Weather was warm, cloudy and very windy. I was wearing trainers again to protect the ankle niggle.

I had a quick first 1070m in 7:06 before settling into maximun threshold 7:30, 7:33, 7:29. Helen had another solid effort. We were out at a party until after midnight, did well to wake up in good shape.

In the 4140m race KT had the best age graded run of the day.

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.
