Stromlo Time Trial 2000m 6:27 : Steve 4 x 500m Strides

Wednesday morning time trial over 2000m in 6:27 on the criterium track at Stromlo. I had to abort an attempt before dawn due to many kangaroos on the circuit and a bike with headlight circling at speed. I returned several hours later with full sun and some wind. Splits (500m): 1:36,1:37,1:37,1:37=6:27. Steve ran 4 x 500m strides at a strong pace. Splits: 1:42,1:43,1:42,1:42. Either Thursday or Friday I'll combine 4 x 500m strides as warm up with a 5000m time trial. Early next week I'll shift the training to a direct preparation for track block.

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.
