Parkrun Coombs 17:25 =1st ; Stromlo XC Tempo Run 2500m 3:45/km ; Steve Not Parkrun Tuggeranong 18:10

Parkrun Coombs after overnight rain and very humid conditions, slight breeze. I led almost the whole way until the final kilometre with no idea who was on my tail. I felt good throughout always holding a little in reserve. We had a full gas sprint for the win and couldn't be separated. I drew the short straw 2nd place token in 17:25. It was good enough to raise my age graded record to 91.2%, I've held it since event 1 back in March 2018 and upgraded it a few times. After that it was off to Stromlo XC circuits for coffee and a group session which included a 2500m tempo at 3:45/km and some 100m strides. 17km all up in the morning, 20km for the day after a short recovery run.

Steve ran a 5km time trial on the Parkrun Tuggernong course in 18:10.

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.
