BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC 22:11

At lunch weather almost perfect with full sun, warm, light to moderate winds on the exposed sections high on the course. My run of 22:11 done in training shoes again, I'll keep it that way for the next few weeks. I really felt great throughout the run with minimal loss of speed in the final kilometres.

Helen ran another strong effort finishing 1st on handicap with 29:31. She is back to within a few seconds of the form that gave her three medals (one of each colour plus a Quokka) in the World Masters Athletics Championships in Perth 2016. I had no hope of catching her today.

Next set on Saturday will be light. Main event of the weekend with be Mothers Day Classic fun runs of 5km (Helen, Jack, myself) and 10km (Steve).

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.
