Discussion: Mottram breaks Tan record, and Hanny beats AFL footballers

Interesting news for anyone who has run Melbourne's 3.85km tan track.

Craig Mottram yesterday broke the track record in 10:08. Sonia O'Sullivan ran 12:50 and Hanny Allston in 13:03 ahead of all of the Richmond AFL club. Cam Howat was Richmond's fastest in 13:08.

Fortunately my pride is still in tact, after running 12:45 last month and 10:15 in a relay team (with 6 others).

I will have to check my time, I think it is in the low 13's burt not as low as 13.03 )-;

I ran 13.23, B Keely 13.08 & L Keely 12.41

13.03 is equal to my best time of the 21st century (although well off my all-time best).

12.42 is my best. last century

hmmm don't think I've broken 13:00

looks like a time trial is in aid of.
