Stewy McSweyn going for Mottram's 5km Aus Record Tuesday (12:55)

Jordy Williamsz only big gun from MTC not on the start list - pacing maybe?

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up. It should be close if he has a solid run!

Women’s is a zatopek rematch - Davies V Batt Doyle

Liam Adams double back from run the bridge?

That’s a criminal waste of a consonant.

I think Kzszczot is more guilty of wasting a vowel

Stewy might be in shape to run it but not sure if it'll happen without some competition, I'm not even sure Williamsz could pace for 3k (7:45 is a big ask) so he will be on his own for a long time. Women's 1k record should get destroyed though, all three of those women should be capable of 2:35 or faster.

Predictions:

W1K - Catriona Bisset by inches over Linden Hall in 2:36.0.

M1K - Peter Bol 2:17.3

W5k - Rose Davies 15:16

M5k - Stewart McSweyn 12:53 NR; Matthew Ramsden 13:07 and many people here act like he came out of nowhere and chalk it up to the spikes.

I take that back, I’ll take the 19 year old Keely Small to beat them both.

McSweyn certainly has the speed and stamina to do it.

Weather at the time of the men’s 5k is forecast to be 56F with 6mph winds—certainly no problems there!

Keep in mind the fastest 5k by someone not born in Africa is Dieter Baumann’s 12:54.70. The fastest 5k by someone not born in Africa and who never served a drug suspension is Chris Solinsky’s 12:55.53. Expect great things.

12:49 in the cards, JWH?

I’m expecting something fast but wasn’t bold enough to predict faster than 12:53. His 7:28.02 3k is equal to a 12:48 according to the IAAF, but he likely won’t have company in the last 2k, and might fall off a bit beyond 3k when compared with the East African contingent. I encourage you to put your chips on 12:49 and hope for the big payout. ?

After his 4:55 2000m a few months ago, I think he's ready for a huge breakthrough here. I'm calling it 12:54, drafting off Stewy for 4950m before outkicking him at the last second.

Are Stewy’s balls as big as Mottram’s? I’m going to guess 12:57.7. Would be faster with pacers through 4,000.

sounds great, I am looking forward to it.

Yeah, suks that the pacing wont be too great. Ahmed had great pacers. What was the pacing for Ahmeds 12:47? That is what McSweyn needs.

If it isn't too windy he'll get it. Forecast isn't great.
