Zatopek 10 : B Grade : The Race

Almost everything went as I anticipated yesterday...cool and very windy with not even a grandstand for protection. Put on a positive head. Went with the leaders for 4400m, only taking twice into the wind. I survived an extra 2 laps than eventual 3rd place. Last 5km we all ran on our own braving the elements in solitude. 32:44 for the winner, 33:18 for me, similar gap to third. All up very happy, move into 2nd in the rankings provisionally.

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.
