ACT Masters 10000m Championship 35:26
Weather warm with some wind for ACT Masters Athletics 10000m Championship. Keith ran a 5:13 84.6%ast 1500m in an earlier race and Steve was in Melbourne running two laps of the Tan track, second lap as 4 x longish intervals with short recovery.
I've long given up trying to run this race very hard with some competitors walking, spending much of my time running in lane two. As soon as lapping runners/walkers begins pace slows. I ended running 270 metres extra by the end of the race. I lapped the entire field a minimum of four times, one I lapped almost every lap.
Splits: 3:19,3:20,3:24,3:29,3:31,3:28,3:31,3:32,3:33,3:24,51 seconds for final 270 metres. Almost identical time as same race this time last year.
Next set on Saturday morning at Stromlo XC circuit with 6 x 800m, 200m recovery.
