BBQ Stakes Hilly 6km Maximum Threshold XC Run 22:46 ; Trails Recovery Run

Lunch time 6km maximum threshold run with BBQ Stakes, a long time low key community handicap gathering. Weather very windy, cold and sunny. A series of cold fronts rolling through bringing snow at low levels, turning to lots of rain by Friday. Too late the snow for Victoria who have abandoned the ski season due to Covid.

My time of 22:46 very similar (within a few seconds) of my previous runs done in early July. First 2km up hill into the wind. Last 1500m down hill on bike path. Middle 2.5km rolling XC terrain. Worst wind today, I felt great throughout.
Splits(500m):2:04,1:50,2:06,2:08,1:58,1:52,1:48,2:04,1:54,1:37,1:38,1:39. Warm up and warm down made 17km for the day.

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.
