Australian Masters Athletics Championships : Day 3 5000m
Weather warm, partly cloudy, light winds that switched around 180 degrees...no help to the sprinters, it's 400m day.
Brief results: Ann 1st W80, Kathy 3rd W60, Steve 2nd M45, Me 2nd M50, Dave 3rd M55, Shane 3rd M40.
Steve had the best run of the day from us with an all-time PB and race to the finish for second place, a repeat of sorts similar to the 1500m with plenty of intra-race tests.
The organisers are behind with the results a day or two. More later.
We are all tired and sore now. Bring on the cross country tomorrow. The course is start-stop four laps of 2000m, the only grass being at the start finish and a few dead turns around trees. It's not easy to get out of sight in the early laps. The course runs in reverse direction as opposed to 2009 when it was last held here. I'll throw in a few pictures from 2009 at the foot of this post.
