60m - 1st in 7.84PB (legs felt very strong)
3 x 200 (twice) relay where i ran the 3rd leg
running very strongly on the second of the
200s in a battle with another runner all the
way down the straight to just get beaten by
an eyelash! (gave him about a 5m start).

2 x 200m fast relaxed with around 90s rest
between. Very very pleased with my form
tonight.

have you given any further thought about signing up for the games??

I would love to compete in it and i haven’t given
up hope just yet but it’s a question of money and
taking at least a week off work. I would want to
enter more events and make it worthwhile.
I think the entry is open until end of July isn’t it?

thanks.

I really wish I was still based in melbourne sometimes. I’m missing the competition… :stuck_out_tongue:

Isn’t there a Master’s venue nearby somewhere??

nope. there’s nothing nearby anywhere. they don’t have a regular masters club scene here like they do in melbourne. you basically just turn up for the big meets, as far as I can tell.

athletics in melbourne is much more developed and better organised than in sydney. can you believe I wanted to enter a pro meet here last season and it was cancelled due to lack of numbers! there’s no way that would ever happen with the VAL…

I guess nothing much has changed up there then! i lived in Sydney in the early 80’s and
strangely when it comes to sport, they don’t
get into anything!
