Sharkie Jul 2022 10:34pm, 26 Jul 2022 20,109 posts	0 Sharkie You need to add a few field events, mark LJ, shot, discus and 200m for me last night. 200 was appalling but managed second. Won my age group discus (it's just vets league)
markgall Jul 2022 4:04pm, 28 Jul 2022 193 posts	0 markgall Excellent stuff Sharkie. No such thing as "just vets league".
Gobi Jul 2022 7:16pm, 31 Jul 2022 77,578 posts	0 Gobi markgall put me firmly in my place over 1500 metres, still I surprised myself with a seasons best at 4.43.86 Then ran a 61.3 400 less than 15 mins later which is as far as I know what I ran as a teenager at my quickest over the distance. Sharkie will be delighted to hear I also filled in with a 3.93(not very long) long jump Finished off with V35 4 x 100 relay. After yesterday's run and race I'm feeling a little 2nd hand right now.

Roberto Jul 2022 8:43pm, 31 Jul 2022 2,238 posts	0 Roberto That's the way track and field should be done. Sprints, MD, jumps, just need a throw next time. But well done both, Gobi and Mark.
SPR Jul 2022 8:52pm, 31 Jul 2022 37,821 posts	0 SPR Nice work Gobi and mark. Lol Roberto, most definitely not how track and field should be done. I did do LJ once back when I started at a point I wasn't up to racing. 4.11 was my best in that comp. Felt like it was more a run through TBH
SPR Jul 2022 8:53pm, 31 Jul 2022 37,822 posts	0 SPR Nice work Sharkie and congrats on the win.
Roberto Jul 2022 9:29pm, 31 Jul 2022 2,239 posts	0 Roberto I know SPR, but it's good fun as long as you then have no expectations of doing any decent times 😂 Having just had covid, I was only down for the 110h and TJ this coming Sat but did a 2x200m session yesterday and managed to run close to my pb, alone, into a headwind, so I'm now doing the 400 as well.
