So today an age handicap was being held at Stromlo Forest park, a hilly course which slows me down, but with an excellent soft surface, and it was a cool and sunless day but with absolutely no breeze.
I was 8th - second for much of it - in 23:38, the Garmin said 5.15k and also said I went through 5k in 22:50, which given the hills is way faster than I have run for years.
So far so good with the training; all is going well.
Dave passed me today with a little over a km to go - I think he finished third. The photo is from last week's Tuggeranong parkrun.
