ACTVAC Track : One Hour Run
Meet started with a Geoff Moore 3000m. Haven't checked the BOM but it felt very humid. Yelena did another PB of 14:37.77 taking 7 seconds off her time set a fortnight ago.
An hour later the Pennington handicap 1500m. Jack was there just as Geoff was to watch his racesake. Kathy ran a season best of 6:01, held off all the boys bar one. Very much in the running for the overall. Keith was third across the line despite a niggle, around 5 minutes.
The Hour run conditions were just about perfect with the wind having died down and no sun. The field no too big. Helen got closer to Anne Young's W50 record but just short again. Very brave running. Anne still hold both the W50 and W55 ACT records. Jodie looked quite smooth and mixing it with the boys
Of me: 10:08? in the 3000m, caught Kathy in the 1500m handicap with just over 200m to go making it full points in the first race of three, the Hour took exactly an hour. I set myself the target of 17km which would give me a new Australian M50 record by 100m, added another 67m to that target, 17067m. Roughly 74min half marathon pace. Went through 10k in 34:40 or so, faded a little in the last 5km. A tough night. 22km on the track, 25km for the day.
