ACT Masters Track : Before the Deluge
1500m at 6pm: Steve 4:47 ; Minnie 6:57. Both were first male and female by more than the length of the straight. Steve ran consistent 76 second laps roughly. He looked great start to finish, as did Minnie who dropped another 5 seconds/km for the third consecutive week.
Walk events 1200m to 10000m at 6:15pm: Only 10 minutes until the rain came, basically the end of the night. As meet director I couldn't call it as such with plenty out there going for ACT records and qualifiers for World Junior Championships. I had tablet in tune to weather radar. The nearest storm passed over the top of Black Mountain around 15-20km to the north. If the meet was held at AIS it would have been called off mid-race. As it was some lightning and much delayed thunder. Nobody was threatened although it was a very wet singlet competition. Calls were made for the 60 metre sprint during the walk but there were no takers. As soon as the walks were finished the meet was called off.
Four days of 80-90 minutes steady running for me with no pain. Niggles not quite gone away, will test at Stromlo with 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute session with Steve. I am happy to wait.
