Manly tempo

Usual Manly route starting at dusk. It was pitch black by the time I turned at Shelley so had to tiptoe over the rough ground. Felt great on the way out and, with 25:12 at Shelley Beach, thought I'd beat my PB from March 24th easily. Then I drifted coming back along Manly beach thinking it was all too easy. Switched back on and worked hard over the final 4km but only managed 50:26 for the 14.1km (3:34's).

Great news for Gregson overnight running an A qualifier of 3:33 over 1500m but still only finishing 11th! Happy to see Allyson Felix take out the dodgy VCB over 100m. But best of all Hooker seems to have overcome his mental demons in clearing 5.72m.
