While his com- • ratios were sleeping on the night after the race, Coleman walked around the ' ; Sydney Showground frojn midnight * t until early the next morning. "It was impossible for me to sleep," f Coleman said,when ho was interviewed oil the day following the event. "J.t take me 24 hours from the time vljj lo race finished for my and thoughts to become normal again. I -Will be all right by five o'clock to-, jnght." Coleman is convinced that if had not, encountered a head wind *nd if someone had been near him over ' jthe last six miles he would have broken . ?the world's record.
