ACT Masters XC Championships 8.2km Steve 3rd M50+ 31:27 : Two Beach and Hill Tempo 18km

Steve ran the ACT Masters XC Championships over 8.2km this morning finishing 3rd M50+ in 31:27 (3:50/km). The course undulating to hilly run as 1km, 2km, 2 X 2.5km loops. The course has always measured slightly long, depending where the grass is cut. I opted not to enter, now living on the NSW coast. I'll be running as a NSW Masters competitor from September. Steve splits: 3:44,3:41,3:56,3:58,3:52,3:55,3:44,4:01. I ran 18km down to the beach and back including a solid hill tempo over 1.5km. weather a mix of sun, wind, drizzle and rainbows. The ocean was boiling foam from a heavy swell. Strange jellyfish washed up all over the two beaches I ran on.

A great memory from such a great event.
