Parkrun Coombs 17:20 1st 91.73% age graded

Cloudy and very windy for Parkrun Coombs. Tail wind going out to the dead turn, head wind coming home. In those conditions I got out there relatively fast, slow coming home. Splits: 3:18,3:16,(dead turn)3:33,3:30,(dead turn)3:32,06= 17:20. It was the 3rd anniversary for the event, some wore crazy socks to mark the occasion. It was my fastest time since the inaugural event (17:13 in 2018) and on the 3rd version of the course. I've held the age graded record since then and improved it a few times including today. After the event I was off to Stromlo XC circuits for an extended warm down and two coffees. In the afternoon back at Stromlo for a loosener, 19km for the day. Long run in the forest on Sunday.

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.
