ACT Masters XC Handicap 3km & 6km

Final event of the series for 2015. Long morning with presentations, speeches, free beverages and a very short race. It was delightful weather.

The course: Out and back on undulating, twisting bike path.

SK, KT, Helen, Roget, Gabe, Mia helping and myself out there. Results below.

Of me: 3km 10:26. First kilometre 3:12, stuck in people traffic next kilometre to 3km turn and back. Both runners and walkers fighting for space, unsafe to run quick. Last kilometre better.

This afternoon an easy loosener when it cools down. Will back up for a short lactate set tmoz.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
