Sprint Marathon Relay 4 x 1km, 1 x 2km, 1 x 5km

Sunday morning running Sprint Marathon Relay in the Fadden Pine Forest on a cross country course. The event has been held since 1984. A good way to meet runners of all speeds. There were 8 teams of six runners. The event took 3 hours to complete. I ran 25km for the morning including lots of warming up and warming down. Intervals covered were 4 x 1km efforts, 1 x 2km effort and a 5km tempo run as we all reformed into our complete team to cross the finish line. Speed varied with the terrain, much quicker than I would normally run in an interval session having around 20 minutes between efforts. Images from my first SMR in 2010.

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.
