While most people were out enjoying running in the glorious March weather last weekend our president was sweating it out on the track at the Southern Vets meeting in preparation for next weeks national championships.

Gail was a little bit disappointed with her first race of the day, as she clocked 2.44 for the 800m but this is a little short for her and there weren't many in the race either. Just two hours later she was back on the track for the 3000m in which she ran just under 11:02. Now whether you know anything about track running or not, the fact is this beat Gail's own national record over the distance by a clear three seconds. In Gail's words; "Happy with that!"

Many congratulations once again go to Gail and good luck in the national championships.
