ACT Masters XC Handicap Isaacs Ridge 7km 24:48

Sunday morning spent at Isaacs Ridge for the ACT Masters XC handicap 7km. Course was mostly flat along an aquaduct with 3 sharp climbs, two steep descents (one rocky, near un-runable) plus some concrete ditches that needed caution. I ran the course twice, first in 4:00/km, second near flat out in 24:48 and 95% age standard. Jogging in between 7km laps made 15km for the morning. Easy 6km recovery run in the afternoon.

Once again no niggles and feeling very good out there. If I pull up well from this I'll be able to resume sessions and track racing in the next week or two.

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.
