Higgins 800m Handicap ; Spiral 7 lap Handicap (roughly 3000m)
Great night for track running. Cool, some wind, dry air. Back at AIS track which is slow for distance, quick for sprinting (altitude and surface).
Higgins 800m Handicap: Big field, great to see. Same result as last year with 1 John Lamb M65, 2 me but completely different race as I never got near John last year. This time a much quicker start from me, caught John (14 seconds head start) with 200m to go, had a nice sit until 100m to go, John was just too good in finish straight. Bravo John. Helen and Kathy ran similar times. No results as yet, will know more of what went on behind when I do.
Spiral 7 lap Handicap (roughly 3000m): I haven't done one of these for a while, it was great fun. Roughly 10:14 for 3000m with an 800m cough, not flat out. Helen roughly 12:50 for 3000m, her best effort this season over that distance. Again a decent amount of runners for the final race. Supper after.
Easy running tomorrow, next session Saturday.
