ACT Masters XC Handicap Ainslie Woodlands 7km

Sunday morning long run including ACT Masters XC handicap at Ainslie Woodlands. The wind, rain and drizzle continued overnight making the trails muddy and slow on a very hilly course including one climb of more than a kilometre. I had a strong run especially on the climbs and caught 22 runners in the final three kilometres.

More poor weather this week to come, cold and windy until the weekend. No track meet on Thursday, I'll get some sessions on track or grass in when I can. Parkrun begins again on Saturday with a six week trial. Canberra has been Covid free for months, not so some other parts of Australia. I'll run as many weeks as I can at Parkrun chasing my 50th T-shirt.

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.
