Vets track last night was characterised by some determined racing. Everyone seemed to enjoy an evening of several medium distance races but no long ones. Amongst other things, it gave people a chance to revenge a narrow defeat in one race with a narrow victory in the next. The racing - three by ~ a mile over two hours or so - would be a good training session, if we had the time. Some even found the energy to do a quick one lap run as part of a relay. It was good to see a few people who had been injured regaining some form and being able to compete. A highlight for many was the appearance of Caroline's son Mark, who diverted at least one speedygoose from the main game, which was to do well in the spiral handicap....
Stromlo Training this Sunday
I want to repeat the invitation for runners to come out to Stromlo Forest Park on Sunday mornings for an interval session on the grass, or just to jog around and enjoy the new, improved grass track under the feet. If it's warm enough and dry enough I will venture out in bare feet this week. See you Sunday morning, 8:00am. It is possible to coax warm water out of the showers afterwards if you need to change, as I do.

Seen this? These are number plate scanners, used to detect unregistered cars. Seen at Dickson (fair enough!).
