BBQ Steaks 6km Handicap : 21:37

Today at BBQ Steaks a flat out run of 6km in 21:37. I've used this low key blast in Autumn and Winter for the last two years as a hit out and sometimes just as a social chat. It's held in the warmest hours of the day in the colder months. The middle 4km is brutal and technical (hilly,muddy,puddles,rutted), up one direction and down the other on concrete path either side of that. I've never run under 3:30/km on the course. Six times I've run 21 minutes something (PB 21:03).

Next set tomorrow at Stromlo XC circuit. 2 x 1000m intervals and 18-20km all up. In the middle of a 140km+ week I'm not expecting anything snappy.

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.
