Long Run 17km : World Masters Games Auckland Day -2

Long run of 17km from home to the airport very early in the morning. I spent the rest of the day in transit arriving at the Auckland Airport hotel of my choice. Two days to go until the 5000m track, my first race. Tomorrow is registration day and a very short run of 5km with strides and stretching.

Schedule is Sunday 5000m, Monday 1500m heat (possibly not, 19 entered and 16 make a final), Tuesday 1500m final, Thursday 10000m track, Sunday 8000m XC. 800m heat and final are immediately before and after 10000m. Rain is expected that day. I will consider overnight if I keep the 800m in play.

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.
