ACT Masters Track cancelled...not quite
Big thunderstorms in the region with hail, thunder and lightning. The track meet was cancelled just as the weather cleared up, before the scheduled start at 6pm. As the officials headed home the athletes arrived in droves and we all got in an impromptu training / racing session.
Of us: 3000m. Track was wet, walkers had started their faux race just before us, the sprinters were warming up. It was windy, maybe only 2 seconds/lap lost due to track (wet shoes, lane 2) and wind. Lightning in the distance. None of us did a normal warm up, gates closing was imminent. It didn't rain or hail again all night.
Times: Me 10:11, Steve 10:19, Keith 10:40, Roget 13:30, Minnie 15:20.
Next session on Saturday. Keith will be there with us.
