Border Collie Training Camp Day 2

Late yesterday afternoon I snuck out solo for a repeat of the morning session except the addition of a 1500m Hill Time Trial coming home(complete with Red Bellied Black snake sunning itself on the road). This morning an early start, a repeat of yesterday with a run through the Golf course down to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches and return same route (too early for snakes). We were at full gas again including stops at sea puddles for quick dips to cool off. Weather cool at dead low tide, sand hard and quick. We did head back to the beach again for a second run at low tide and made it back in time to watch the to Olympic Marathon. It was pure joy running with my friends the Border Collies and watching the brutal marathon pan out back at home. I look forward to the women's race tomorrow. It is also same day as the City2Surf 14km brutal Road Race in Sydney with a sellout starting field of 90,000 entrants. Best wishes to all.

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.
