ACT Masters XC Handicap 8km 29:52 ; Canberra Half Marathon ; Merimbula Fun Run 5km

This morning at Callum Brae forest park ACT Masters XC handicap of 8km in 29:52. Course is very hilly with one flat section, two 4km laps, width less than single track in places. I did one 4km lap as a warm up, up-tempo and very close to race pace. That gave me 12km of work plus 2km warm down. In the handicap Helen finished 2nd on handicap ahead of myself in 4th on handicap. Another long up-tempo run later in the day to make 25km for the day, 128km last 7 days. Next set on Tuesday with 600m efforts. It's a public holiday tomorrow, long recovery run of 17km.

In the Canberra Half Marathon Steve, Jen and Roget ran. Jen was the standout with yet another PB, this time taking over 4 minutes off her best with 1:49:18. Conditions were perfect for running. Steve was very good through 12km. Roget ran 2:10ish.

In Merimbula Fun Run 5km Keith ran 18:19 for 3rd place. Splits: 3:51,3:44,3:48,3:36,3:17. Keith is running a 10km next week in Melbourne.

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.
