Australian Masters Games
The Australian Masters Games in Geelong continues and I am home. Almost 4000km of driving in a weekend making it more than following Tour de France in three weeks...that's how big Australia is!!
It is a very low key event. Being able to park the car on the grass verge within 20 metres of the track with a good view made it possible to give the dog a view while I ran as well.
There are two speeds of athletes at the games. In best shape are those going to WMA in Brazil this week like Allan Cook and Lavinia Petrie (who broke W70 5000m world record around 21:30). For others it is just their first track runs of the season and not in great track shape yet.
Results:
M55 5000m Keith Law 1st 17:39 (taking 25 seconds off his PB and winning in a time quicker than AMA Championships 2013). Great run Keith.
M50 5000m
M50 1500m
