Track Resumes : 3000m ; 1500m ; 1650m Spiral Handicap
Weather 90% humidity, some lightning about and a brief deluge, in the 20s C, no wind to speak of....it will be like this for a week or so.
3000m: We filled top 3 places again, no surprise there, all ran well in the conditions. Roughly: Me 9:56, Steve 10:13, Keith 10:28 (3:24,3:30,3:34). Minnie ran a solid race 14:23, not very far off her best in 2015.
1500m: Steve backed up 1st 5:06, Leanne 5:13. Leanne is all class, did well to keep with Steve until 300m to go. Steve very strong last 300m.
1650m Spiral Handicap: I started off group 47 and was 7th across line, roughly 1650m at 3:18/km. Helen had her first run back in OZ after being on holidays at 4:31/km, Roget 4:40/km, Shane 3:40/km. Helen and I were both officiating all evening, given leave pass to do races.
Summary: A good training session for all of us. Next set on Saturday, long XC step down intervals again. Next Thursday ACT Masters 10000m Championships. I will run that. The weather doesn't look great but things can change.
