Australian Masters Athletics Championships 2ndM60+, 17:33

Final day of track for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships, today the 5000m, 2nd in 17:33. Weather warm, cloudy to sunny, some wind. Splits(500m)1:40,1:43,1:44,1:44,1:50,1:47,1:48,1:48,1:45,1:32. The race basically a 9 lap tempo run first to warm us up for a replay of yesterday's 1500m except we were 6 seconds quicker today. Same result though, Craig capped off his meet with wins in the 800m,1500m and 5000m (17:30). Paul Woodhouse 3rd in 17:51. I still have the 8000m XC to race on Monday morning. A win would make it 2 gold, 2 silver in 4 races. Yassine was first in the M70+5000m. Steve ran a great race to run 17:18,4th in the M50 5000m.

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.
