Down to the Gold Coast this morning for a Mile.
Good conditions (the heat and humidity are lesser factors when your only running 4 laps).
Brendan Wheelan was out to demolish the Qld M35 Rec.
so at least i had someone to draw upon
First lap plus 9m was about 67/68, with Brendan running 65/66.
2nd lap Brendan cleared off (2.12) with me about 2.18.
3rd lap I think I went through in 3.32? so was tieing up big time!
It is amazing how different running a mile is compared to the 3 & 5k !.
Brendan started to come back to me on the last lap - it was his first track race of the
season. He ran 4.39,
I timed myself at 4.43.5 no electronic timing but had three watches clock me at 4.43:5, 4.44:2 and 4.44.2 - I'm not sure if they give the median time or the average.
Ronnie wont mind me taking this record off him - a sprint by his (and mine) standards!

I wish I had a couple of Miles to aim at here in Cape Town, I would like to see if I could get down to that time.
It's a nice run and yes it's a little different, to the longer stuff. I found the marathon easier!!!
You're on fire at the moment Dave. Great to see and long may it continue!
Looking forward to my first mile race of the season at The Armory on Jan 5th
