ACT Masters Track 3000m 9:47, 800m 2:25, 2500m Handicap 3:19/km

Keith today broke the ACT M60 3000m record in 10:31.02, his second record in a week following the One Hour Track. I had to work hard to keep him at bay on age standard terms. There was some wind today with late rain. No as good conditions in the previous 3000m race a few weeks ago.

My evening included 3000m 9:47.93, 800m 2:25 and 2500m handicap in 3:19/km. All were fastest of the night or wins. There was less than an hour between events. I was most exposed in the 800m when Bob ran 68 for the first lap but had him under control with 200m to go. All up 15km for the day.

Thanx to Ewen for the 300om video.

I thought Bob was going to run 2:20 off that first lap. Good night to be watching. Congrats to Keith - excellent time and record.

Bob said he went through in 68 which was too quick for me. Thanx for your 3000m video Ewen. Love Helen's comment when Keith was lying on the ground post race.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
