ACT Masters XC Handicap Curtin 6.5km 3:37/km 3rd

Warm, cloudy and humid for ACT Masters 6.5km XC handicap. Different start and finish, same course for the event. Beginning at the bottom of the course made the loop climb a tough 3.5km to a summit before winding it's way on a fast descent to the bottom, flattish finish. It was tough enough to give me a chance to catch most runners finishing 3rd across the line. Splits (500m): 3:30/km,3:33/km,3:36/km,3:39/km,3:46/km,3:48/km,4:17/km,4:20/km(summit),3:20/km,3:12/km,3:09/km,3:25/km,3:33/km.

In the afternoon a recovery run. Next set on Monday morning with Steve at Stromlo XC circuits.

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.
