Winner Mike Blackmore


Photo below shows Pete in the lead , Francis Burdett in 2nd, eventual winner Mike Blackmore in 3rd Kevin Forde in 4th.



Thurs 4.00pm Nudgee
18 X 400m 100m jog recovery - good session, ran hard the whole set in spikes!
Calves began to give gip so pulled the plug on the last two but was well capable of completing the Half Zatopek!

Extraordinary result from USA Masters National in Sacramento overnight, Peter Magill was beaten in the 5,000m!!! Is he human after all?? I'd love to hear the story.
Congrats to Mike Blackmore and great runs to from Pete (close thing out sprinted?) Kevin Ford ran an excellent 15m36 for 3rd, a big improvement, and Francis Burdett missed out on the medals 4th 16m07.
Here is a link to the Sacramento home page

Yes, that is a surprise. And here's another: Nolan Shaheed was beaten in the 60-64 age group. It wasn't too long ago that he NEVER got beat (from 800 on up).
And that 16:14 IS incredible.
