Australian Masters Athletics 1500 M45-49

Season's Best: 4:22
Favourite: John Jago

Goal: Execute race plan, follow for two laps then attack with 600-700 to go, hope for a sub 4:20. KM in last 7 days =61

Outcome: Kicked as planned at 600m to go after first 800m in 2:35 (very windy). Last 600m in 93 seconds....only good enough for silver....winner counter attacked with 270 m to go did a 91...
Time: a slow 4:27

David: Scott Lawrence was forced to lead for the first 900m, John was the only one to jump on my heels when I attacked. Scott finished a brave third a few seconds back after doing all the hard work.

Of all the races here I enjoyed this one the most.

Of my friends: K=SB 4th M55-59 ; k= PB Silver W40-44

Go Bruce,

You can do it mate, just remember to shout 'Gotcha' as you pass John Jago...

Execute Plan, Attack Rival, Pass Rival = Win

I suspect JJ's kick was always going to be super strong in a slow run race. How did Scott Lawrence go?

Scott was third in 4:31:22 ; embarrassingly he came up as a DNS in the results which meant they put me on the podium for bronze, despite my protests! I knew he was third, he knew it, but the officials didn't. It got sorted in the end though....
