Pennington Series Race 2 : 3000m Handicap

Over 30 degrees and low humidity for the start of race 2. Giving Kathy 2:35 head start is a little daunting. I had to un-lap myself first (took 1000m to do that) before chasing her down. Last season I only caught her in the home straight so couldn't leave anything to chance. This time around it was 600m to go (I started very fast), could afford to take the last 600m not so hard. 9:35 for me, 12:42? for Kathy and a season best. 3rd place to KT, 4th place to Phil.

After 2 races Me:100pts, Kathy 98pts. Final race is an 800m in the New Year. Kathy would only need to beat me by two places to take the series on countback...it's not over yet.

800m: Maria 2:51, Helen 2:54

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.
