Parkrun Coombs 17:27 1st : Snow in Canberra : Keith 3 x (500m,1000m)

Saturday morning at Parkrun Coombs on a day when it snowed in Canberra (it happens once a year or so). The course was slippery in parts, windy, no snow during the run itself. I had solid competition from in front (Jasen M40) and behind (Daniel M35). It was only inside the last 1500m that I could get to the front, attack and go solo to the finish 1st in 17:27. Splits (500m): 1:38,1:49,1:44,1:44,1:43,(dead turn,1:49)1:45,1:38,1:47,1:43. At post run coffee it snowed off and on, heavily at times but never settled on the ground.

Keith ran a session of 3x(500m,1000m,rest by heart rate). Splits:2:00,3:56;2:09,3:56;2:20,4:04)

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.
