Despite the snow yesterday the Ontario Masters athletics indoor season got off to a strong start. several hundred athletes over 30 years of age competed in track events from the 50m to the 3000m and a number of field events. Once again I was impressed with the level of competition and the friendlyness of the athletes. I ran the 300m and 800m (finishing mid pack in both).
The second meet of the season is this coming Sunday at York University. This is a world class facility including a 200m indoor oval, full field event sites and a straight for the sprints. All surfaces are rubber. Shower and change rooms are also on site. Timing is electronic with photo finishes (if needed - these meets are eligiable to set Canadian and World records). Check out the photo section of www.ontariomasters.ca to get an idea of what these events are like. Next week's events are:

#2 Sunday, Jan 10 Noon
60mH, 60m*, Mile, 200m, 600m, 3000m, 4X200 or 4X400m Relay
Shot Put, Weight Throw, High Jump, Pole Vault, Long Jump, Triple Jump

Gene is saving himself for the 3000m racewalk.
We will see you there. What events? 800-3000?

Gerald

oops ... didn't scroll all the way down to the racewalk. Yes, 800 & 3000. The 800's a new one for me, and I'll try and lower my 3000m. Looking forward to it. See you there.
