[*Garmin adding just over 5m/lap]

reasonably warm & windy in the home straight (again) for this one...

finished 14th and literally ran to hand over my place card before dashing off to my meeting at Manuka (not even late) then back at the track by 7:50pm..

got roped into the shotput by Jenny Bourke...missed my 3rd put so I could get a start group for the Adler 6 Lap Spiral then returned for my 3 remaining puts...don't know what I threw (8m-ish?) as I wasn't paying attention when they measured, will wait for the results...

6 lap Adler Spiral (or 2514.04m!)

almost perfect temps for this one but quite humid...this was fun, it's a handicap race where you start in lane 1 and each time you reach the 300m mark you move to the next lane so that by the time you finish you are in lane 7...speedygeoff started a group in front of me (& I never looked like catching him)...finished 34th out of 42 in this one...Griffin finished just behind me...Ewen was in this one (walking) as was LuckyLegs & Strewth so a good collection of CoolRunners (adding in Aki spectating)!

there's a 7 Lap Spiral on 8 March & an 8 Lap Spiral on 22 March...

afterwards went and poked my head in to see Doug & Rick at work with the photo finish stuff...they provided me with the exact measurement for the 6 Lap Spiral...

not sure what I'll do at next week's meet, maybe the 2000m, the javelin & the shotput...

here are my official results from the previous fortnight:

1 Feb
5000m 23:33.27

8 Feb
3000m 13:50
Discus 22.22m
Javelin 22.47m

will probably be another warm & muggy run at Customs...
