ACT Masters Track 1500m Handicap ; Keith 3 x 400m
ACT Masters 1500m handicap, the second event of the three race Pennington series which includes 3000m and 800m. My task was to catch Sue W70 (World Mountain Running Champion) and Kathy W65. I caught Kathy with 450m to go, Sue inside the final 400m. My splits (500m): 1:36,1:37,1:33. Steve M50:Splits(300m,400m): 57,1:21,1:20,1:18 and Alistair M45 ran well catching the girls in the final 100m. The series is decided on place not time, 50 1st, 49 2nd...each race. Not having a weak event.
We got lucky with the weather, the 1500m handicap was first event in warm, dry conditions, light winds. Shortly after the event a series of thunderstorms rolled through. Earlier in the day I ran 8km to ensure I got my 17km done for the day.
Keith on grass track ran 3 x 400m in hot, humid conditions in the middle of the day. Splits: 82,78,77
Next session on the weekend. I will be on the coast, session to be done on bike path along the beach.
