Oceania Masters Athletics Track and Cross Country Videos

Male 8km



some thoughts: hmmm on the warm up lap tested the left ankle over the steeples...I won't be bothering Tevor Jacob's 3000m M50 steeple record as the ankle popped twice...thus the hands over the barriers in the real race...on the last hurdle I did a 360 to check where bw was...I kicked hard from that point on

some thoughts: hmmm not sure if anyone understands this but when I caught up to Andrew 260m into the 800 and turned off the muscles that didn't need to work...bliss...heven't (deliberate with an e) hed that feeling since I was 20...the easiest 65 second lap in 30 years...must be all those 100m strides taken semi-seriously since August

some thoughts: hmmm i heven't shown you the 5000m videos yet but when you see Kathy run the race remember she made that race from start to finish...I saw her at nationals in Perth run the 5000m and remember the conditions...Tauranga was a much tougher day (look at the hair), Kathy fought all 12.5 laps and is just as good as what she was 20 years ago
