ACT Track 3000m Championship 10:07

Friday evening 3000m ACT Championship races. Weather was hot, no wind, low humidity. Fields were packed with class of all ages (12-58yo). I was the oldest runner there. The races were great to watch and run in. More than a few from over the border New South Wales. All the races followed the same plot with fast early pace, field splits up especially when the body core temperature peaked out.

My splits (500m): 1:35,1:35,1:39,1:44,1:46,1:39. I had two very bad splits when my core temp over-cooked, otherwise OK.

Saturday morning Parkrun Coombs again. I'll see how I pull up, I'm not sore this evening. I only need to get one more Parkrun closer to my 50th event. I may run hard anyway. Stromlo group session warm down after that.

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.
