Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 2nd 19:01

I left home in darkness and howling winds, a couple of hours after midnight to make the long drive to Parkrun at Panboola Wetlands and driving as carefully as I could and making Pambula with plenty of time to spare. It was windy in Pambula too but nothing as Bad as at home. I ran a hot warm up lap of the Parkrun Course and ran some 100m strides to get the legs moving in humid conditions, At the start of the parkrun I found I was racing an 11 year old, Alexander. After a slow start from me I reeled Alexander in half way around the first lap, we had a quick chat on the run and soon after he scooted off into the distance allowing my wind burn't airways to recover. That's my first Parkrun since September 2024. I hope I can fit in a few more Parkrun events in before I start racing my goal events commence in April. Data shows I was at my threshold limit for the first 16 minutes of the run.(3:47/km).

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.
