Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 1000m ; Steve Parkrun 18:07 3rd

We are back to winter here with cold gale force winds, rain overnight and snow on the surrounding hills. I was at Stromlo with Jen to do 3 x 1000m XC intervals. In the cold I ran in tights and two fleece tops, gloves and thermal hat. Jen ran 4:20-4:40/km. My splits: 3:15,3:14,3:09. Early splits similar speed to the Thursday 600m set. I found something extra on the final effort when I was fully warmed up. 12km in the morning set, 8km in the afternoon with Milli the Border Collie. Long run tomorrow.

Steve ran at Parkrun Gungahlin finishing in 3rd place and setting a new M50 age record. Conditions were similar to here...cold and windy.

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.
