1500 metres walking race

18 April

The Caversham Harrier's Club had its annual 1500 metres walking race at the Caledonian Ground. There were 15 entrants and we all started from scratch.

I had no pre-conceived ideas as to how I would go. To my surprise I finished in the lead with Gordon Cameron and we stayed together until he took off with 100 metres from the finish. I was delighted to do the race in 9:59, six seconds behind Gordon.

The club then did a walk up to Opoho, through the upper Gardens and back to the Caledonian for a 6km walk. It took 1hr 10 mins.
