Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 1st 17:26 in Nike Vaporfly 3

Perfect morning for running at Panboola Wetlands, cool, sunny, a light breeze. 1st in 17:26. Splits(500m)1:44,1:41,1:40,1:39,1:41,(dead turn,1:46),1:46,1:49,1:47,1:44.  Having not done my key session (Parkrun) a week ago I suffered in the 2nd half today. Aside from the 1st 500m the first half was encouraging in holding 3:20/km to the turn. I warmed up in the Nike Vaporfly 2 and raced Parkrun in the Vaporfly 3. Despite the sandy surface no grit got inside the very breathable upper. There was minimal wear on the shoe. It felt faster but wasn't judging by the splits. Being winter build up mode I was sitting on 122km for the week, a volume I've held since March, just after Australian Masters Athletics Championships. The next test will come in the Sydney 10km Road Race where I will have a lighter load for a few days. This afternoon a run with the dog at low tide on the beach. Sunday long run.

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.
