ACT Masters XC Handicap Campbell Park 6km 21:11

Very warm and humid, just a breeze this morning for first XC handicap of 2018. The course out and back with dead turn at half way, undulating and rough underfoot. Two crossings of horse stile or climb through gate option at 1.5km and 4.5km.

I worked very hard in the first half which was generally more up than down. I caught most runners by the finish, 4th across the line on handicap. Splits: 10:59, 10:12 = 21:11 and 95%+ age standard.

A late afternoon recovery run made 18km for the day, 126km for the week. Next set on Tuesday morning, 600m efforts.

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.
