Masters Athletics 2017
2017 promises to be a rather different year for me. I have decided to take the long route to rehabilitating a damaged left shoulder. It had caused me to miss about three months training at the end of 2016 anyway, so deciding not to compete indoors in early 2017 was a fairly easy thing. However, so that I can get it sorted properly, without the pressure of upcoming competition always hanging over me, I have decided at the moment that I will not be competing outdoors either in 2017. You can follow the progress of my rehab on my blog here.
I will still be photographing the major Masters athletics track events in the UK, but I have no plans to cover any of the international events. That will mean that this list of available photos for 2017 will remain a fairly small one.

UK Masters Inter Area Match, Solihull,
Sunday 2 July 2017
Strange to attend a match in which I usually race three times as well as taking the photos. At least it meant I got to take a lot of shots I don't usually have the time to get!
Men's action is here
Women's action is here
