Stromlo XC 17km incl 1500m Time Trial 4:40 : Steve ACT Masters 800m 2:24 3rd

Morning session at Stromlo XC circuits of 17km including a 500m tempo in 1:40 followed by a 1500m time trial in 4:40. Splits: 1:29.5,1:43.5,1:27.5. I didn't work hard enough in the middle 500m although that's exactly how I like to construct my race. My 1500m time trial 9 days ago was 4:46. On Friday a recovery run, Saturday Parkrun. Steve ran his first track meet of the season, an 800m handicap event in 2:24. A series of thunderstorms rolled through Canberra in the early evening dropping a lot of rain. Late on the program was a 3000m/5000m combined. Nobody ran in the 5000m.

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.
