Richie Roberts Mens M40 Cross Country Champion with M45 Jamie Harrison runner up in the M45 Cross Country Championship.
The photo below shows Jamie in Green about to lap someone on the 3 lap course.
Jamie continued his quest for 6 medals at the World Masters Games today in Sydney. He won a close fought 800m from Allan Cook in 2m05.12. Great time considering windy conditions, though I'm not sure they had the 35 O C temps we had today in Brissy!The Cross Country course looks like it was a real mix of grass and pathway. I don't have the CC results yet but is that a Silver medal around Jamie's neck along side the Gold from todays 800m?
He is pictured with Richie Roberts (the winner) of the M45.
The Mens M45 800m Podium looks like Land of the Giants!!
Of the 800m Jamie said
"I should also have mentioned it was really windy today. I'm hoping
that accounts for the slow time.
Allan Cook went through halfway in 1.03. I would have been 2 seconds
back.
A dissapointed Jamie further commented about the Cross Country ;
"Sorry I didn't divulge much about the cross country - it was a bit of a disappointment.
We had a quick presentation for the 800 then went to Parramatta Park. I had about an hour to spare. The course was supposed to be a 2k then2 x 3k laps. In the actual race I discovered it was 3 equal laps! The temp was in the high 20s, very windy. The start of each lap has a gradual uphill of about 400m. The surface was level and firm with no mud. That path section in the photo I sent was only short and okay with spikes.
I felt sluggish off the mark and was behind the main group. I picked off one or two, but by the end of the first lap it was Richie Roberts and the Russian (M40 10k road winner I think), then Peter Brett and Sean Williams (M40), then me in limbo. I was hoping they would come back because I didn't have much to give!
It basically continued that way with the gaps widening.
I was a bit disappointed because Rich hasn't beaten me for a while and it's only the second time Sean has ever beaten me. I'll have to blame it on fatigue!
Today is a rest day for athletics.
5k tomorrow. Hopefully no fresh runners!
I think we can all understand a bit of fatigue creeping in with your schedule and those temps!
The standout performance would have to be the incomparable Earl Fee of Canada running the 800m in 2m49 at the age of 80!
