5000m 3rd 15m53;07
Griffith's University Gold Coast
A small field of 7 toed the line, Andrew Ferris took out the first lap with me in second, Christopher Reeves and brothers then swarmed around me and pushed on with Andrew Ferris. Mat Reeves dropped out after a KM, and I caught and passed Andrew Reeves at about 2000m, though he came back at me as he finished at 3000m.After that I ran by myself though I was coming back on Andrew Ferris. Times were roughly 1m48 @ 600m, 3m00 @ 1000m, 6m12 @2000, 9m26 @ 3000m ,12m40 @ 4000m.
1st Christopher Reeves 15m23.39, 2nd Andrew Ferris 15m48.75 5th Peter Reeves (M50-54) 18m16.01
An average of 3m10 per KM in warm humid conditions ,partly windy, was an 'OK' performance. I know before hand my target was a modest sub 16M performance and I achieved that but then my mind moves the 'bar' and I think Sub 15m50 would have been an OK performance! It was hard to really push myself in this low key meet, running mostly alone. So I feel confident that should the stakes be raised I can put more into it, however, last February's 15m29 seems a long long way off!
The photo above showing a glorious view of the Milky Way was taken over Pointe de Trévignon, France, on August 13, 2007. In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere the Milky Way is gorgeous on clear, summer nights. Here the view is toward the south, from the constellation of Sagittarius (near the horizon) to the constellation of Cygnus (at top, close to the zenith). Dark interstellar clouds of dust and dark gas provide a sharp contrast with the brighter areas (regions rich in stars) of the Milky Way. The dazzling red blotch at bottom is the Penfret Island lighthouse.
