Not Parkrun Stromlo 5km 17:02 : Steve Not Parkrun Tuggeranong 18:17 : Keith 5 minute Time Trial 1430 metres

Early morning (6am) Not Parkrun 5km at Stromlo in 17:02. Weather cool, cloudy, no wind, some drizzle that stopped just after my warm up. The slippery track and number of kangaroos enjoying succulent wet grass on the side of the bitumen is the only thing to complain about. Great weather for running otherwise.
Splits(500m):1:41.6,1:40.6,1:44.3,1:39.4,1:43.0,1:44.7,1:42.2,1:46.3,1:41.6,1:38.3=17:02 I only looked at my watch just once at the 2nd last of five tight turns on the run (1:46.3,very slow). I knew that slippery turn was slow throughout with 3 kangaroos sitting on the inside corner and having to give them space. All up 9km for the morning. Another 11km on grass later in the morning including 4 x 800m, 200m walk recovery (2:53,2:43,2:39,2:30). Long run Sunday morning. Steve also found the course wet at Not Parkrun Tuggeranong, 18:17 in slippery conditions. Keith ran a 5 minute Time trial covering 1430 metres.

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.
