Friday Pre-Parkrun Adventures Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB 2023 watching

Friday afternoon 3 hour drive up Brown Mountain to Jindabyne was an adventure. Recent storms and trees across the road as workers with chain saws cleared the way. In Jindabyne greeted by Ultra Trail runners completing their runs at what will be the Parkrun Start. I did a run on the Parkrun Course before heading up the road to Charlottes Pass at high altitude above the tree line, 1700m asl+. There were hundreds of runners on the edge of the road all safely directed by many road marshalls. Aside from the wind it was a great day for running until another huge thunderstorm rolled in late afternoon. Throughout the night and this morning very tired 100 miler entrants dribbling in, continuing now  and probably overlapping with Parkrun.

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.
