Hot and humid, some breeze.more walkers than runners so lots of lane two running, Peter Reeves said I looked strong start to finish. Happy to have beaten one of Ronnies Records which prior to Keith Bateman was an Australian record (KB moved it down from 9.19 to 8.59 !).Good to be running 3.05's. 
In the right conditions I should shave more off. Above times are aprox as might have mixed up schedule times with actual times.
Cheers

Hey Guys thanks for all your comments.
Dave Re Barefoot I'd say it is something we should all consider. For me I'm quite a ball of the foot/toes landing runner specially when fast pace so going barefoot doesn't make too much of a difference to my style.
Saying that if the running surface was suitable I'd prefer to go barefoot on sand or grass but as I dont have any true 'barefoot'shoes I carry on with what I have.Right now with PF in the right foot I'll try anything for relief from that tyranny!
