Black Mountain Challenge 5km

Decided yesterday to do this run for social reasons. A few of us gathered in the National Museum (new start) and flogged ourselves up to Black Mountain tower. At the top was fruit salad and juice (buns and soft drink as well but I tried not to look at those). Most of us won a voucher or some lucky draw prize or both. Then we ran back down the mountain, looked for Helen's lost car key and finished up with coffee.

Emma was 2nd overall females. I was 3rd overall male, a step behind 2nd.

From the base of the ascent:
Total Distance: 2.70km -- Starting Altitude: 570m -- Finishing Altitude: 810m -- Average Gradient: 8.9% -- Elevation Gain: 240m

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.
