Another race, another record.
That seems to be life for Canberra track star Cameron Myers.
Not a bad way to be heading into a Commonwealth Games where he's hoping to make a statement.
Myers set a new Australian under-20 record, a personal best and a meeting record in the 800 metres at Lange Laufnacht in Karlsruhe, Germany, on Sunday.
The thing is, he's not even an 800-metre runner.
Myers counts himself more as a 5000-metre guy.
He's preparing to make a statement for the Comm Games and he's hoping for a few more records as a 20th birthday present.
Myers will be in between meets when he exits his teens and rather than partying, he'll be training.
"No party ... a good birthday would be some fast times and maybe some national records," he said.
"We'll see how that goes.
"The focus for me is Commonwealth Games."
Myers settled at the back of the field before surging to the lead ahead of the home turn.
He then sprinted clear to win by 10 metre and stop the clock in one minute and 44.05 seconds.
Myers thought he'd fallen too far back in the early stages, but after the opening lap he was right where he wanted to be.
"It was a beautiful race," he said.
"We had a stacked race - a bunch of 1.44 guys.
"The plan was to get out in a good position and work my way up over the second lap.
"I knew those 800m guys get out hard so it was just about being controlled and just judging my effort over the two laps which I think I did pretty well."
He's off to Stockholm for his next race next Sunday, then he's heading to Oslo after he turns 20 with his distances starting to ramp up.
This 800-metre race was just to sharpen himself up.
"I'm looking to run some fast times there and hopefully some very competitive races," Myers said.
"I think of myself more of a 5k guy so this is just sharpening up and it's the last preparation before Stockholm.
"For me it was just about preparing for that fast 1500 metres more than anything."
