ACTVAC Track : Pennington Series Race 3 : 3000m

































Final race in the series flipped the results for places 2-4 with Phil going from 2nd to fourth and probably Rod and Kathy moving up a spot each. Tied on points it goes to Rod on age count back I thing being the oldest in an age grade at age 54.

Of me: I had to give Kathy 2:34 head start. It took me two and a bit laps to un-lap myself and then set about gaining 100m on her each lap until I had caught her at the bell. I have a bout of sciatica at the moment and couldn't feel my legs in a normal way all evening. I was alerted to it when I felt a tightness in the right calf. Not sure I can get it fixed by the 5000m this evening but I will give it a go. I need a tennis ball and a lie down for a few hours to get the lower back out of spasm again.

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.
