Australian reports on racing in China masters nationals
M50 runner Robert Herd of Australia has quite a sense of adventure. In mid-May he joined a Hong Kong contingent and traveled thousands of miles to Hangzhou -- to compete in the All-China National Veterans Athletics Championships -- their masters nationals. After his return home, he posted this amazing yarn of his experience in China. Among his revelations: "In the 1500, where you run mainly in lanes 1 and 2, people stood on the inside of the track and in lane 3 and outwards all around the track and cheered and clapped and took photographs."
