Morning Run and Swim 16km : Diary of a Taper

I commenced my taper for Australian Masters Athletics Championships today. The morning run 16km, 4km less than yesterday. Today the course to the swimming beach with the dog, with water still warm, 22 degrees celsius. Return run in reverse, back up the hill slowly. It's very steep coming home in reverse direction. In the afternoon a set of short intervals to keep the legs ticking over. Set: 4x300m, 15 seconds recovery. Slow start building to 2:59/km. Splits(min/km)4:24,3:38,3:21,2:59.

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.
