Keith Bateman M55 3000m 9m14.27 Australian Record

On a very very windy day in Sydney today Keith smashed the M55 3000m record (held by legendary multi record holder John Gilmour)  by 6secs!!
Today he said "very very windy - Sean told me to tuck in behind Liam Ridings (easier said than done) - stayed with his pack for a lap or so but very hard going as wasn't much cover from the wind - lost touch on 2nd lap but caught them again - then couldn't hang on and got the wind for 4 laps and died in last 2 laps. But finished in 9:14.27 which is 5.5 seconds quicker than the Australian Record so VERY happy with that :-)"
Keith has started rewriting the record books with an Australian Mile record earlier this year hopes to run World Records from 1500m to Half Mara.
