Just for clarity, this should be accreditted as specifically an “indoor 5000m†event record for the masters category – not a outright Canadian Masters record. Marilyn Arsenault of Victoria, BC has run 17:30 over this distance in the +40 Masters category.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
Why can't someone post a Canadian female performance W40+ that ran sub-19:00 for 5000m indoors and shut her up?
She appears to actually have an indoor AG Canadian record.
However, for context:
the W50-54 indoor 5000m Canadian record is 18:58
the W40-44 outdoor 5000m Canadian record is 16:42
I know many people's eyes will glaze over when you try to explain the AG system, and differences between indoor and outdoor records, but it's disappointing that this athlete is one such person.

In context, she ran 40.seconds faster than W35 record.
...and 33 seconds SLOWER than the age 50 record.
