Parkrun Wagi Bridge 17:02 1st ; ACT Masters Track 3000m
Premiere event for Wagi Bridge Parkrun on Saturday morning. Weather cool and very windy (30km/h gusting to 50km/h). Course challenging (undulating to hilly,almost no flat). I have been chasing these small events in recent weeks in preparation for Canberra Times 10km Fun Run and One Hour track in a fortnight. I had some competition early with a couple of runners doing 3:10 for the first kilometre and late in the run Jono backing up from a 34 minute 10km in Burnie last week. I was solo after the early pace died off at around 1200m.
Splits: 3:16,3:27,3:26,3:24,3:26.
I had plenty of friends out there. All ran well although a little slower than their home course of Ginninderra.
On Thursday evening ACT Masters had two 3000m events on the program. Weather was hot for the 3000m handicap event (I ran that). Steve ran in the later 3000m event. I had to dash immediately off to a party. Steve ran 10:28 (3:33,3:29,3:26 with last lap 78sec). I ran 10:05 without kick, thought I had a lap to go.
This afternoon a long recovery run out of the wind. Sunday ACT Masters 7km XC handicap.
