BBQ Stakes 6km Maximum Threshold XC 22:22 ; Keith 3 x 3 minutes, 1 min recovery

Lunch time 6km maximum threshold XC run at BBQ Stakes handicap. I caught all but one runner today, a sign my handicap was spot on. The weather sunny, some wind, XC section still muddy with puddles to negotiate. My run equal to that a couple of weeks ago, my fastest two runs in 2020. Today would have been faster if not for a stiff headwind for the first 4km.

Splits (500m): 1:44,1:48,1:55,2:01,1:52,1:53,2:01,1:58,1:52,1:48,1:49,1:34

Next set on Saturday morning, group session long XC intervals. Venue to be determined.

Keith ran 3 x 3 minute efforts at just over 3:20/km. Nice set for Keith as he runs into form.

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.
