Parkrun Burley Griffin 17:12 3rd : Steve Parkrun Tuggeranong 18:03 2nd

Christmas morning at Parkrun Burley Griffin in 17:12, 3rd. Weather cool and cloudy to start but burnt off mid-run making it sunny, hot and sticky. Splits(500m):1:42,1:43,1:48,1:49,1:50(dead turn),2:06,1:38,1:10,1:52,1:30. Course mostly up on the way out, mostly down coming home. I'll most likely run this course again next week. A tough course made faster by usually tough competition. I was racing three aged in their 20s today. I also spent the first 500m+ chasing Louise being towed by her dog (I could not keep up). Steve ran Parkrun Tuggeranong, 3rd in 18:03.
Today's run compares well with the 17:15 I ran on Wednesday at Stromlo on the criterium track. With the right sessions I should be able to get back into the 16 minutes something this week.

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.
