ACT Masters Track : 1500m Championships
Weather warm, very windy in the home straight, cloudy.
Big enough field to split into two races, around 5:40 the cut-off.
1500m Heat 1: Steve 4:37.1, Me 4:37.4, Colin 4:54, Leanne 5:05, others
1500m Heat 2: Others Low 5s, Kathy 6:09, Helen 6:34
Summary Heat 1: Steve led first 200m in 34, hit a wall of wind in home straight, I led next two laps, Steve took lead with 300m to go, we raced it out in the home straight. Great fun.
Of me: After the 1500m ran 3000m at 10000m tempo, comfortably at a little quicker than 3:20/km, around 9:55. Wind had died down by then. Helen 13:42.
Next set Saturday Long XC Step down intervals. Keith was ill tonight.
