ACT Masters Final Track Meet

3000m: Conditions were awful...cold with very strong winds in the back straight. It was like that all day. Steve had an absolute cracker running a PB 9:55 in those conditions. Around 3:17 through the first kilometre in 2nd, pace slowed to 1500m, shortly after Steve took the lead, lifted the pace gapped his younger competitor and held it almost to the end. Best tactical race I've seen Steve run and there have been a few.

Keith also gave it a big shake attempting to take the Geoff Moore 3000m series from me. He didn't quite make it but a brave attempt in those conditions 10:34.

Shane ran a PB 10:48 in the 3000m and backed it up with a cruise 2:30 800m later on, helping Leanne to a 2:29.

Helen another 12:30 effort, had a slight head cold. Kathy also another good run to claim the 3000m series in the women 12:52.

Of me: Just a lazy 16km at lunch yesterday. Very windy on the lake, a nice tail wind home. Today another run the same distance in the forest at lunch.
