Blincoe's 13:24.82 Lands 7th in Loaded Heusden 5000

Nicely done for Adrian Blincoe this evening at the KBC Night of Athletics in Heusden, The Netherlands. In a deep and talented field, in rather poor weather that slowed the pace, and testing an injured knee that forced him to his back in the midst of last weekend's Birmingham 5000, Blincoe ran a very solid 13:24.82, coming home in the first chase pack. His time already puts him ahead of last year's SB of 13:26.10 set in Melbourne.

By all accounts, the knee injury from Birmingham is not too serious. The race video will be posted when it becomes available.
