Everything went swimmingly, lots of people are tapering at the moment for the Zatopek next Saturday and Vic Milers on Tuesday so I had to do the last 10 minutes solo.
Mum ran in the 4 x 1500m relays last year on the track for the masters age category, the same race for 2015 was run yesterday. Talking to Cass after the run today, apparently the Knox team yesterday ran a quality time so Cassy looked up last year's race to see what time Mum's team did. Turns out Mum held an Australian record for a year and didn't even know!
The Knox girls topped it yesterday but now everyone is keen for next year to see if they can take it down once more. Nobody even knew about the record until yesterday, probably because the 4 x 1500m is a fairly obscure event. So mum held an Australian record, that's pretty special.
Last year mum's team ( which had Sonia O' Sullivan in it- holder of the women's 2km world record - around 5:25 I think) ran 20:49, and the Knox team ran 20:29 this year, so it should be a great race next year.
Also we saw some monks having a silent stroll after hills yesterday, at first we thought they were a squad in bear onesies, but unfortunately not. Also Trevor got this photo yesterday. 79.1km for the week.
