Comm. Games Trials

Very exciting weekend for spectating as we had the Commonwealth Games selection trials at the new stadium over the last three days. Unfortunately I was unable to get to Saturday night to see locals Carter and Busi have a crack at those eastern staters. I hear it was a cracking race though  ( the eastern staters remaining intact ...)

Sunday afternoon was fun, especially the 1500m with a packed field. It turned out to be very tactical with local Marc See making the 'no guts, no glory' move (see photo) which didn't work out, but I suspect that the top three ( Gregson, Risely, Roff) were always going to be there whatever happened.

Commonwealth Games Selection Trials 2010 Day 3

For myself, recovery run (7km @ 4.44 HR 136) in the morning, followed by a nice brekky at Cobalt with the gang, and Monday morning easy (11km @ 4:20 HR 150) in lovely conditions - quite warm on Mounts Bay road, and then through the King's Park 'fridge' up the western path back to Next G.

Thanks for the glorious pictures. I tried to get down to watch the commonwealth games trials, but couldnt make it, but hopefully they'll be there again some time in the next 2 decades now that we have the fastest track in Australia. Although for sure melbourne and Sydney will try to outdo us there...
Those pics of the Australian champs really cool!
