Held over the same (mostly) a flat and (usually) fast course as the Athletics Victoria ½ marathon last weekend, the conditions today were quite good. Unfortunately due to illness and other commitments we only had 1 runner in the field – Monty – who was out for some redemption after weekend. The goal for several runners in our group at the moment is to run a qualifying time for the 2011 New York marathon, in half or full marathon. For Monty the goal time is sun-1:23hr. He ran well through the first 12-15km, then faded a little to just miss the goal time but ran a PB nonetheless. We know what needs to be done to get the qualifying time…just need to do the work now!!
Michael Montgomery – 1:24:45hr (PB)
Also…
Jacqui Watts (10km) – 42:55min

Special thanks to Tim for coming out to support Monty again this morning. See some photos on our web-site.
