ACT Masters XC Handicap 4.1km Stromlo

We've used this event as a last fling before AMA Championships every year since 2011. It was perfect conditions today. Steve and I started together off group 47. Helen ran the longer 8.2km but only ran the last 3km hard after 4 x 100m strides in the middle.

Steve took a huge chunk off last year's effort, shows he is in great form, 14:19. I was 13:41 and 19 seconds quicker than 2014 and as quick as I've ever run on the course. It's nice to weigh 55kg again :-)

Not much to do now except keep the leg speed ticking along and complete the taper process. Another 25 minutes this afternoon to loosen up. A light session mid-week on track if the weather is kind.

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.
