Australian Masters Athletics Championships 8km Cross Country 1st M60+ 31:57


Track is done for me in these Championships, Today it's only about cross country. I last ran at this venue in the late 1970s when I was a  kid. We aren't using the parts I remember having just run a 2km loop. It's proper rough and ready, long grass, many turns and some obstacles on the ground. It will be 4 loops for us today to make up 8km. Weather cloudy with rain, some wind  although sheltered by forest. It starts on an oval for cricket. Just before the start lots of rain, boggy mess, took a tumble late in the race.

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.
