ACT Masters XC Handicap 6.3km 23:34 ; World Cross Country Selection Trials

Early this morning at Stromlo XC Circuit the World XC Trials were held. I stayed to watch the open male and female races before heading over to nearby Curtin for the ACT Masters XC event.



In the ACT Masters XC handicap I started a few minutes after the second last runner. I caught Helen early who had a recent win and was handicapped out of contention like myself. I was solid throughout running between 3:20s-3:40s/km depending on terrain. First and last kilometres were all up hill. Mainly flat in the middle.

Monday's long run was 20km in 87 minutes.

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.
