3000m 2nd 9m30.00
I got beaten in a track distance(3k,5k,10k) race in my age m45 Cat for the first time.
conditions were warm & sunny and no wind! a huge field of runners and walkers, with me lining up next to legend Alan Bradford, so got to shake the hand of true sporting great. forgot to start my watch but went out hard, 33 for 200, 68, for 400, with Shane George on my heels. tried to settle down, Shane said I did a 78 for next lap!! think we went through K in about 3m03, Shane cruised by very easy,I struggled, arms felt weak,had to run mostly in lane two as we lapped wakers after 600m. think I got to 2K in 6m16.I did not kill myself but was happy to run round in comfort zone. no last lap push, Shane ran 9m09 and aims to run the age cat record of 8m55 at some stage. I'm happy enough with 9m30, I can run better when I've done more intervals. Ron Peters beat Peter Reeves in a new Qland M55 record 9m43(actually 9m45) not yet confirmed (Actually all times seemed to get rounded up!).
I warmed down with Dennis Fitzgerald and Gerard Gossens, GG is famous for having done Dancing with the Stars! GG ran 9m59 (actually 10m09) I think he is M41 but he runs World Championship and Olympic Games for Disability athletics.
