FOOTNOTES
1. We had 9mm of rain last night and it all fell during Vets track. Makes for a change, racing in the wet! I am sorry for those who missed it because they thought it would be hot. The change was a big surprise.
2. Speedygeese have webbed feet. In particular, Amanda ran a great pb, taking nearly 20 seconds off her previous best for the 3000m.
3. Katie was in top form too running a fast 1500m AND a fast 3000m soon after, both right on her pbs. Through water and rain and humidity and wind, that 'aint bad!
happy geese after the rain...
