Thursday night track
I ran in the earliest race I could because I thought the weather might cause the cancellation of the program, at any time... and I was nearly right.
1500m: cool and humid. I ran exactly last in the first (fastest) division; but managed a recent pb of 5:22.9, better than my 2007 best time. It started raining as I ran the final 50m. Kevin had a significant improvement. In the second division, with light rain falling, Roger ran well, and Bronwyn ran a big pb.
3000m: After a break while we watched the lightening, the meet was not abandoned and the 3000m went ahead. Most runners faded in the third km in the humidity and lack of breeze. Amanda and Rachelle had good runs given the conditions.
The Spiral 6: in this novelty event, Gary had a good run, after his not so successful attempt to 13-minute pace-set in the 3000m left him well warmed up and ready to run. Kathy was running well too.
