ACT Masters XC Handicap Little Black Mountain 9km 92% age standard ; Steve 10km Road 38:05

King and Queen of the Mountain race on one of our toughest courses held on very hilly rocky fire trails. Weather cool and very windy. Gabe, Helen and myself backing up from a very hard session yesterday. We crossed the line within a minute of each other on handicap, all with solid runs.

I felt great out there with good rhythm, strong on the hills, cautious on the rocky descents.

Next set on Tuesday, some 600m efforts at Stromlo XC circuit.

Steve ran a 10km road race in Sydney in 38:05 as part of his preparation for an upcoming half marathon.

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.
