Long Beach Tempo Run 100 minutes : Snake Spotting

Morning Tempo beach run of 100 minutes from Dalmeny to Potato Point and return at low tide on mostly firm sand. I was having a great time exploring the grass trails on the headland near Potato Point until I spotted a 2 metre black snake hunting food. While I had a mobile phone I didn't take my compression snake bandage. It was straight back to the beach for me. I won't run that headland again until winter when the reptiles are hibernating. One inquisitive dog had already died from snake bite this spring. I didn't have Milli the Border Collie with me this morning (lack of fresh water on route). A run on her favourite beach and coffee at the Marina for her.

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.
