Australian Masters Athletics : 10000m & W55-64 1500m
Didn't get to race the younger runners today, I am too old. It was M50-59 and W40-49. The young ones early race at 8am Christopher Sullivan TAS ran 34:42, but was under 33:20 pace at 2000m.
In the 945am race: 76, 74 my first two laps, had lapped the field by 4600m, lapped everyone again except second place. After the initial 2 laps I was bang on 33:20 pace, had a slow 9th kilometre and a 72 final lap for 33:28. Faster than in my runs in Melbourne and Canberra. Better conditions today(warm with a breeze here), more people to lap more often today.
None of my friends raced 10km today, all in for 5000m tmoz. Kathy raced 1500m This afternoon 1st w60 in 5:51. ACTVAC runners Geoff 4th 37, David 41. Women were Fiona 41:02, Andrea 41:48 and Tracey 44:02 in W40, Deb 41:39, Carolyn 45:39, Claire 47:43 in W45 (all Tasmanians except Claire).
Very happy with that run. Now to back up for 5000m tomorrow.
