Queens Silver Jubilee


Back in 1977 to celebrate The Queens Silver Jubilee I ran a 3000m , must dig out the result but I know I finished 2nd as I won this Thomas Fattorini medal! I ran 8:59 , I was 15years old and had run 8:44 earlier in the summer. It was 7th August,I raced 29 times April through end Sept.

Wonder if he is related to Tony Fattorini, former 6ft track winner and record holder http://fattorun.wordpress.com/

Nice work Master, although we'll all be celebrating the Queens 'Platinum' Jubilee before anymore races and comebacks from you at this stage:)
Hope you are on the right track and over the worst,
cheers
