Allan Cook M45 800m 2:00.70

I just found this result from 21st February, the Australian Masters Games, in Melbourne (Geelong).
I sometimes bemoan the fact that there seems to be a paucity of Australian Masters Runners Racing track but unbeknown to me down in Melbourne there are some pretty hot 800m runners!, in particular this M45-49 800m race was top quality! To see a current  Australian M45 runner very close to 2mins is very encouraging! (alongside Dr.JH 2m01.  ). It was some 20 years ago, Queenslander, Alan Bradford was running World Best times under 2m.
I also noted Allan Cook won the 400m in 55secs so he has real speed but his endurance was not quite what it should be with a only a 4m24 1500m. Full results here
