Virtual Parkrun 5km 22:32 Stromlo Helen

Wednesday morning Virtual Parkrun 5000m at Stromlo, pacing Helen for a time in the Open European Masters 5k Virtual Challenge. Weather chilly, very windy, drizzle and rainbows.

Helen's last 5km outing was with perfect weather on grass in 22:32. With the weather against us today we moved to the adjacent bitumen criterium track. Result on that surface was an identical 22:32. Both her runs were outstanding. Had conditions been OK today Helen could have lopped off 10 seconds or more from that time.

I had a lengthy warm up before Helen arrived. 17km for the day, 120km for the week.

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.
