3 events tonight at track...
5 Lap Spiral - started off Group 41, managed to finish 9th in a PB of 8:43 (an improvement of 29secs)!!
800m - in heat 3 with Griffin, Nadine, Brett, Rad, Nick to name a few...for the first time for me we were to stay in our lanes until just after 100m or so when we were allowed to cross to Lane 1 (I was in Lane 8)...Griffin shot off like a scalded rabbit...I managed to hold second until about the 600m mark when Nadine went roaring past...Brett started to gain on me in the last 100m (I could hear him coming) and that spurred me on...crossed in 2:55.69...first time sub 3:00 so a PB by about 6secs and a season's best of over 8secs...!!
4 x 400m - the team was Katie, Nadine, me and Rachelle (running in that order)...I think the first three of us were pretty consistent around 77secs with Rachelle finishing in about 71secs...total time was about 5:00 (5:00.65 to be exact), an ACT record for the W35 age group (there wasn't one originally!)
attribute these times to my shoes AND my new bike pants (Brooks Element SPRINTER!!)

Congrats. It was the shoes AND the shorts... AND racing Tim up those hills. 2-something for an 800 is worth bragging about. Just like 2-something for a marathon.
Fantastic results - and you still looked fresh afterwards. Must have been the shoes and the CR top - go go go - you are amazing. Well done!
