Caroline Campbell at World Masters

Posted by speedygeoff on Sunday, December 01, 2013 with
Porto Alegre, Brazil was the venue for the 2013 World Masters Athletic Championships. Caroline Campbell was there representing the speedygeese, well, representing Australia actually, in the W70 division. She competed in four distance races and did extremely well.

Caroline Campbell W70
5000m 4th(?) 26:05(?) *bronze*
10000m 4th 55:02
8k CC 3rd 44:11 *bronze*
Marathon 3rd 5:19.44 *bronze*

Not a bad set of results for a 71 year old! Great work, Caroline.

I am not sure if that 5k time is correct or should be 24:11.26, or something else. Nevertheless she received a bronze medal for it, but is now listed as 4th. Whichever, she was faster than I ran for my 5k split in today's 8k tempo run!
