Didnt he have some sort of world record for people over 45 at 800m??
Yea, over 40s (masters) record for 800meter. I don't know what it is. He's going to give the over 50s 800 meter a crack in a year or two.
i had a good head to head with a dfo guy today. He was fitter but we were chopping and changing the lead. Good fun!
More likely than not, that would have been ollie clear.
Did Rothery not have the record for 1,500m?

He had it in the 800m.... thats not to say that 3:55 for 1,500 is shabby :P
Colm broke the World Record for M40 800m in 2001 with 1:50.69, and is still third on the all time list:

He has 3:53.92 for the 1500m from 2002.
comfortably over 4 seconds ahead of Eamon Coughlan's best M40 time.. fair play
