3000m...Day 81 of 91

the plan was to run the Pennington 3000m at my first track meet in just over two years...this event is handicapped based on age group and gender...

unfortunately due to a combination of a late bus (15mins) and the officials deciding to start earlier than the W100s off 0:00, I missed my start by 3:45 (I was due to start off 24:12 originally but with the earlier start I should have left off 3:15)...

I ran anyway, finishing dead last out of 16 in a net time of 13:37.51...I was happy with the new track surface as my heel didn't hurt so I should be right for next week's 5000m...

found a cache in Fern Hill (also DNF'd one) before returning to the track to pick up the results for the Daniels and the Adler...
