WARM UP/DOWN 15:00 [3]
Ran down to the track and warmed up for the 1500
ATHLETICS race 4:49 [5] 1.5 km (3:13 / km)
Got drafted into the 40+ 1500m relay team as the guys wanted to beat the other club that had a good team, didn't have high hopes about what I could do, as I have yet to do any speed work, or much training at all for that matter, but if the rest of the team wanted me there, who was I to argue.
I knew that back last year, I had the measure of the other teams last leg runner over 5k, but this was 1500m and a year on. I got the baton with a lead of 20m, 2 laps in and the gap was much the same, then with a lap to go he was moving up on me, but I knew he would have to move quicker if he was going to get me, 300 to go and I could hear him, back straight was OK as I went into the final bend, he took me out with 100 to go, so I dropped in behind for a sec, then out and around and back to the lead. Got him just in a very close finish, didn't know I had that good a kick in me (-:
WARM UP/DOWN 15:00 [3]
Up the creek and back to the track with my team and the girls team who broke the old record by 2mins, got a lift home
Note
The club had drafted Leon into the open team to try to get the record, 1st 1500 went well, (leon 4.19), then Damien got around well just to be stood up on the change over as the 3rd leg runner thought he was doing the 4th leg, Damien had to wait 2 mins+ while josh (3rd Leg) got to the change over. Talk about not being organised
