In my recent update, I missed a very important fact that Daniel Greig also broke the 500m National record, skating a 36.83sec 500m in the Open event on the 21st of March. This placed him 9th out of a field of 38.
So, over the Intact Finale weekend, 6 National distance records were broken:
Ladies 500m - Sophie Muir - 40.18 - 22nd March
Ladies 1000m - Sophie Muir - 1:19.69 - 21st March
Mens - 500m - Daniel Greig - 36.83 - 21st March
Mens - 1000m - Daniel Greig - 1:11.40 - 21st March
Mens - 5000m - Josh Lose - 6:41.80 - 18th March
Mens - 10000m - Josh Lose - 13:57.98 - 20th March
Although these records are presently unofficial, Desly is completing the required paperwork to have them ratified on the 5th of May at the Australian Ice Racing council meeting.
During the 2008/2009 season, Sophie has lowered the 500m and 1000m ladies distances, Josh has lowered the 3000m, 5000m and 10000m and Daniel has bettered the 500m and 1000m distances.
Great season guys! We are looking forward to more records and some podium finishes next year. Hats off to Desly for coaching, arguably, one of the best LT representative teams of all time.
