ACT Masters Track : 3000m
Last play track race for 2014. All the remaining track races with be at 8pm, not 6pm with heat, sun and wind to contend with.
Results: Me 9:53, Steve 10:15, Keith 10:24, Roget 12:54, Helen 13:28. A big improvement for Steve on his last effort, Keith very good considering the 10km. Helen still had 1 more race to do, the 6 lap spiral handicap 8th 4:13/km. Roget 2nd 4:19/km. In the 1500m V beat all the boys 5:12 (then raced Em in the 400m, both 70 seconds) with SK 5:41.
Jane is making some progress, her 1km efforts down into the 3:50s. Maria ran 5km road in 22:20 on Tuesday.
Of me: Still a little tight in the hamstrings from Sunday. Early laps were good, cruising at 3:18/km. Dropped in a couple of 81 second laps in the final kilometre when the sun came out big time. No 1500m race. Looking forward to a big session on Saturday morning at Stromlo XC circuit. The magpie now has two children, is with his partner teaching the children worms and such and no longer swoops...until next spring!! The weekend will be very hot, must get everything done early.
Next race ACT Masters 3000m Championships on Friday with Athletics ACT. It will be around 8pm with minimal slower runners to lap and hopefully good conditions. My first flat out track race of the season.
