Not Parkrun Lakeside 5km 17:08 : Retro ''Road to World Masters Athletics Championships Perth 2016'' : Keith 4 X 800m

My last chance this morning to get a quality 5000m time trial in before the weather turns sour for a few days and I stuffed it. I turned up at Stromlo 6am, did a full warm up, two cyclists turned up. I had to abort and find a different venue. I chose the busy lakeside path to get the TT done, poor choice. People, bikes, smokers and a wind off the lake. Splits: 1:40.5,1:39.0,(gravel)1:45.8,1:42.8,(dead turn)1:48.0,1:41.5,1:42.2,143.9,(gravel)145.0,139.1=17:08

Friday weather will be OK. Some rain and wind expected until Thursday next week. Next set on Friday with short intervals and a short time trial. Saturday XC intervals. Sunday long run. Keith ran a set on assorted surfaces of 4 X 800m with 2 minutes recovery.

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.
