Geoff's readers will be pleased to know he's returning to civilisation tomorrow.
I'm just home from the first track meeting of the season - the "Come and Try It" day out at Bruce. I was a bit neglectful in writing down times for all of Team Moore as my other job was to watch some of the kids from Calwell running. I guess Geoff will fill in the details.
In the 800m Roger ran about 2:40 while Katie was not far behind in 2:49. Roger also did well in the High Jump clearing at least 1.3 metres. Ken, Maria and Aki didn't run - they were all happy to provide moral support from the stands. Neil was busy as usual in his capacity as an official.
In the 3000m, Kathy ran within 5 seconds of the Australian Record for a W50 with 10:49.6. Not only that, she actually won the race outright, leaving such stars as Roger, Kevin and Katie far behind. Katie ran what I thought was a pretty good 3000m, unleashing her trademark 'last 50 metre' sprint to tie with Peter Strangman in about 12:30.
Aki was almost talked into running the 3000 but she had to leave early as the rent had expired on her borrowed car.
The conditions were quite good - not too hot and just a little swirling breeze to contend with. The meet was over in an hour and a half - how good is that!
