Looks like I am (im)famous again, following on from my page 3 photo in the Melbourne Marathon info booklet this year, this time somehow a photo of the start of the 10,000m from the Australian Masters championships this year made it into the Australian Masters 2010-2011 Handbook I got in the mail today. Its in the first 30m where I am trailblazing looking to see where Paul Mitchell is, as in deference to a far better runner, I am looking toavoid blocking his run on the inside. Paul and I cruised the first 400m in 72 secs, before I retreated back to my rightful place and let him and the legendary Bruce get on with the real business. a forgettable race that one for me apart from the first 400m really, but I'll take it a cool photo of an exciting start. They combined my age-group (35-40, with the 40-45 I think. I can see CR Tiger Boy there too.
In all seriousness though if I am to race these championships again (which I'd like to but 6 foot is more important), it will be tough to find the $ to go to Brisbane in April, but most of all I hope my old coach Stan gets there. He still has a couple of Australian Masters records from recent years, and I think I spotted him in one of the other photos in the book. Kim Thomas my nemesis in most age-group events also makes the photos in the steeplechase.
So a nice surprise that one...
