Parkrun New Years Day Special Tuggeranong 5km

Another big turnout for New Years Day with a combined ACT event at the Tuggeranong course. 260+ participants all up, few of which had much sleep. Weather still, warm and humid. The course out and back on bike path, concrete mix with some boardwalk along the lake thrown in. I found it easier than last week, no testing hills but with several almost stop dead corners, it might be around the same speed. Minnie, Helen, Roget, Bob, Jeff, Elle and many friends out there and extras for brunch post-event. Minnie ran a Parkrun PB.

Of me: I felt great out there running very relaxed at around 10km pace (8:19 to the turn). 8:38 on the return slowed by all the prams, dogs and participants.

Next set on Tuesday, might vary it a bit depending on weather.

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.
