Talking of start lines, Geoffrey had a wonderful time up at the World Masters Games in Auckland in April, and as many of you saw in The Star, he earned some gold and silver in his age group! He actually added to his total after that article, finishing with 2 Gold medals (1500m on the track and the 8km cross country), and a Silver in the 5km on the track. All were wonderful to watch and it was nice to have some fun times celebrating with the other great Otago athletes competing, and also Dunedin’s own Charlotte Meiklejohn who was one of the key organisers of the whole event. It was a real thrill to have the 1500m awarded by John Walker himself too (see above) – very special!
