ACT Masters Athletics 1500m Championships 4:47 1st

Almost perfect weather for the ACT Masters Athletics 1500m Championships. Warm, light winds, hard to fault. I did a full warm up including 100m strides and the race got off on time. I ran it like a championship race, not a time trial. Even paced 1000m and accelerate at the end. Splits: 1:36,1:36,1:33 +2 seconds going into lane two on the final lap to pass a straggler. Steve was a solid 2nd. Next week is the 800m championship event. I'll have to do some more fast running before then.

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.
