2 PBs...

managed to shave a massive 2.16 seconds off my 800m time to finish in 3:01.27...managed to run a much more even race passing through 400m in about 1:30...

the 1 hour run was held 24 minutes later...Rosemary Parker volunteered to be my lap counter (thanks!)...

started off ok (i.e. not fast!) but slowed over the course of the hour...totalled 12137m...average pace 4:57...

Jackie Fairweather (16056m), Trevor Jacobs (16121m) and Rad Leovic (9744m) all set records for various age groups...Jackie's was a world record for W40, Trevor extended his ACT record for M55 while Rad established an M80 ACT record...!!

my lap times were:
1:51, 1:51, 1:53, 1:54, 1:57, 1:58, 1:57, 1:59, 1:59, 1:56, 1:58, 1:59, 2:01, 2:00, 2:01, 1:59, 2:00, 2:01, 2:00, 2:01, 2:03, 2:01, 2:03, 2:02, 2:02, 2:02, 2:02, 2:01, 2:01, 1:57

I think I passed through 10k about 30 seconds quicker than the other week...

You might need a 1:27ish first lap next time to break the "3-minute barrier". Fast 800s usually have a faster than even-paced first lap.
