ACT Masters Cross Country Championships 8.25km 1st 28:13

At Stromlo perfect weather for ACT Masters XC Championships. We raced with Male under 20. Circuit included 1000m, 2000m and 2 x 2625m loops. All loops undulating to hilly (the longer the loop the steeper the hills, especially the longest loop which has a very steep pinch).

Results: 1st Me 28:13 M55, 2nd Anthony Kennedy M45 29:58,3rd Yoan Colin M18-19 31:16 ,4th Lachlan Patterson M18-19 33:28, 5th Nigel England M50 35:46, 6th Melissa Oloyede W40 36:36, 7th Peter Thomson M55 36:55, 8th Robbie Costmeyer M70 37:41, 9th Helen Larmour W55 38:07, 10th Kathy Sims W65 38:17, 11th Ewen Thomson M60 39:25, 12th Roger Pilkington M55 41:21 13th Jim White M65 43:40, 14th Ken Eynon M70 45:35, 15th Caroline Campbell W70 48:26, Geoff Moore DNF at 3km?

My splits: 1000m 3:15, 3000m (6:53) 10:09,5.6km (9:00) 19:09, 8.25km (9:03) 28:13. A much better run than last year given the two extra very steep hills and 250m of distance. I've still got 120km in my legs last 7 days, down from 140km, reducing to 85km in the next 4 days.

Gabe was out there cheering us on. Kathy and Helen had a great tussle from start to finish.

Tomorrow an easy recovery run. Monday and Wednesday some 1500m specific sessions, same intensity as last week, reduced session volume.
