I feel compelled to share this video with as many people as possible.
Behold. Footage from the rarely contested 600m indoor steeplechase.
Run on the inside of a velodrome. With a built-in waterpit.
Commentated by outrageous british announcers. From the late 70s.
And some awesome beards.
It seems almost too good to be true, an event from the Silly Olympiad maybe, but no, it's real.
In lieu of the 2000m National Records being broken this past weekend, I feel compelled to make an attempt at the national record of another, some may say more prestigious, off-distance track event. I wonder if Moults can dig that one up.
Take a deep breathe, watch.
