But good luck anyway to all those going to the six foot track. I hope you all do really well. It shouldn't be hot this year, but do take care if it is slippery in the wet.
Here are the speedygeese results from last night's 5000m race.
M50 Roger Pilkington 19:47.89 72.9%
W40 Katie Forestier 20:07.57 76.5%
M60 Geoff Moore 20:23.97 76.9%
M60 Kevin Chamberlain 22:04.72 72.3%
W40 Amanda Walker 22:09.59 68.2%
W35 Bronwyn Calver 22:12.13 67.1%
W55 Kathy Sims 22:37.33 81.1%
W35 Rachelle Ellis-Brownlee 22:39.68 64.6%
M70 Tony Booth 23:53.87 72.1%
These were on the website last night. I am very impressed!
The stand-out run was probably Kathy Sims, who struck form last week with an excellent 1500m run in Perth, and has followed that up with another excellent run here in the 5k. Katie's run was impressive, especially her first few laps which were an outright sprint; it is her quickest time at [Canberra's] altitude. Bronwyn ran a pb and is looking good as first reserve in the next W35 4x1500m relay record attempt. Roger improves dramatically every run, very dramatically in this one. Kevin & I picked up M60 silver and gold respectively when the M60 leader, whom I was not going to catch, detoured to the toilets halfway through the race and ended up third. LOL!
I ran a minute slower than I did in the same race last year. But 60 seconds in 12 months for 12.5 laps is only 0.01 seconds per lap per day. So I haven't slowed down that much really.
