Further rant, I must have seen different replay to stewards of 300 masters. One runner causes mayhem which stewards first of all dismiss then by time get to they get to last paragraph then tell how it may have been. More spin than Scotty from marketing.

Yes it sucks going wider as you actually need to cover extra ground and its highly inconvenient when you're about to make your move on the leaders....Even more inconvenient when you commit to going wide and out of now where you are cannoned into and taken out of the race
13 years ago I came down in a race fall at Daylsford in a 400m final (in very similar circumstances). I broke my right elbow and spent two days at St Vinnies having it operating on. No action was taken by stewards and my right arm has been dodgy ever since
Slice it, dice any way you want O'Dwyer but the fact is you tried to force your way through a gap that just wasn't there. You brought me down and ironically a runner that you train down as well. It's dumb luck in your favor that no-one got seriously hurt. Still waiting for your apology but I won't be holding my breath..
P.S The whole "richest masters race in the world" thing is a bit of a piss take. It's not really that big a deal. Just a bit of fun to hype the race for a bunch of older athletes. I love racing and I love winning. At the end of the day though, for me, winning isn't everything, there are other things far more import e.g safety of other runners around me.
