Australian Running Festival Canberra Half Marathon 77:22 1st M50-59

Weather cool to warm, light winds, cloudy to full sun for Australian Running Festival Canberra Half Marathon this morning. My plan was to run 2 x 10km splits of 35 minutes and find my way to the finish as best I could. I found myself in the second pack shortly after the start. Splits to 5km were good (3:29,3:26,3:17,3:17,3:25). From around 9km on I was struggling with dehydration, splits mostly in the 3:40s. I stopped for a minute at the final drink station for 3 cups of water and one over the head. Not my best run, no harm done to the legs. I will have recovered easily by Australian Masters Athletics Championships which begin in 12 days.

ACT Masters 5000m Championships

Completely unexpected we had the hottest 5000m field at club track since I started running again in 2007. Weather was cool but windy...probably not more than 1-2 seconds a lap. We had to run in lanes 2-3 for some...cost more than the wind. Brad led the early laps solo. Olympian Shaun M50, Jacob M30s, myself a chasing pack, Jim and Steve chasing us. I survived 2000m sheltered out of the wind before I cracked, just before they caught and passed Brad, Brad and I had to survive to the end solo. Shaun 16:03 and Jacob ran 16:06, Brad 16:52, me 16:54, Jim 17:11, Steve 17:54. First two females V 19:59 and Leanne 20:03 ran together most of the race. My first race in Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% on track. Wearing them in for the Australian Running Festival Half Marathon on Sunday.
