Well, I'll be 65 next year (gasp!) - maybe we should both go and collect some medals. Where will it be?

Go for it Dave, 2016 in Perth, you'll smash it!
I'll be 42 then. My eyes lit up when I saw the times that won the 800m's in Sacramento.
I've even called my old sprint coach to get my speed back up to scratch. - July 20, 2011 at 7:54 PM

Any plans on the Oceania Games next year as a newly minted M50 runner Dave?

What?!? I didn't get a medal?
That's OK...walked away with a time I was happy with.
Hey, who's this Kevin Forde guy? Probably wears a lot of green.

Hey Bob!
Next WMA Champs are 2013 Porte Alegre Brazil,then Lyon France in 2015 and the one Down Under where I would definitely like to compete Perth Australia in 2016!
Tiger - comparatively the age groups get harder (more competitive) as you get older(to a point) and we welcome every new comer to Masters track.
Kevin - I only looked at the Oceania web site yesterday! I have a brother in NZ about 3 or 4 hours drive away from the host city! It is a 'maybe' but previous Oceania results suggest competition can be sketchy.Maybe a good opportunity to visit my Bro.
Francis - you ran a fantastic time that would have won you a Gold in the last few Worlds!
As for Kevin - thank goodness he doesn't wear the lily white! (of Tottenham) - July 21, 2011 at 9:23 AM

Dave,
I saw the Oceania Games listed and wondered if they'd interest you period,much less w/ the whole new age group to attack.
Not sure what's worse a Spurs fan leaving messages on your blog....or a utter Gobshite like Francis posting comments!!! I'll deal w/ him next week in Berea at US Masters Nationals! - July 22, 2011 at 4:54 AM
