YMCA Canberra Half Marathon inc Australian Masters Half Marathon Championships 76 minutes 2nd overall, 1st M55

Cool windy morning after early rain. Venue mostly bike path around the lake, some off and on road sections and navigating puddles and pedestrians.

After the first kilometre sitting in a chasing pack out of the wind I jumped across to solo M30 Jacob. From there on were were together until Jacob skipped away in the final 2-3 kilometres. I thought I had a near flawless run.

My splits: 3:30,3:30,3:21,3:34,3:25,3:29,3:32,3:38,3:37,3:44,3:36,3:33,3:37,3:40,3:38,3:39,3:37,3:44,3:34,3:43. All the splits over 3:40 had a hill in it.

That's my last race until City2Surf in August. I'll be in France very soon, continuing base training in a calm and warm environment.

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.
