Andy Anderson’s Report
My time in the 600 was 2:46.43, a PR by nearly 6 seconds. My previous best was 2:52.16 on December 7, 2024, at the San Diego State University track meet.
I am now 88 years old and was the only Senior (and, I think, there were no Masters level runner) in the Men’s 600, but there were certainly a lot of 10–12-year-olds! One 11-year-old was second with a time of 1:24.57! A 12-year-old was fourth with a time of 1:27.28.
Not surprisingly, when I got onto the final straight away, everybody else had already finished! People politely applauded the old man as he ran the final 100 meters.
Now I will see if my 600 PR will translate into a 400 PR.
