AMA Championships Day 3 : 5000m
No racing for me, the virus. 5000m Kathy 3rd W60, Helen 3rd W55, plus Steve, Shane, Dave, Dale, Nigel, Roger and the other Steve (4th M50) all in action. Dave easily won M50, Steve Q easily M55. Dave, Nigel and Dale all ran season bests or very near to that.
Helen up first, as in all her races the finish order Stacey, Ann, Helen. Helen had a friend on her hip for the first few laps, was then solo in a season best.
Steve had some competition in M45. Top two medals were tied up with Robert 2nd and Dennis 1st. That left four aiming to grab that last medal. It was status quo for 3000m, then the race exploded.
In M40 Neil had fastest time of everyone. Shane only recently came to our small group and almost nabbed a bronze with another massive PB. He hit a road block at half way and could have run much faster had he made the choice to go around it.
