Weather conditions again played havoc, this time with Friday’s Fun activity. After attempting to set out obstacles on the course, we finally had to give up and let the westerly winds at Willandra take over. Postponed the activity to Friday 22nd November. Hopefully weather will be in our favour.
However Saturday Sunrise activity at 8am the weather was perfect. 20 keen walkers and runners once again enjoyed the scenic trek along the banks of Shoalhaven River choosing their selected distance.
Some great performances were recorded time wise. Young Cameron Harrison taking out the performance of the day by improving his time by over 3 minutes. With youth on their side also Marley Hewatt and Johanna Pichler had notable improvements, certainly considering they are newcomers to the longer distance.
At the other end of the age spectrum, it was pleasing to see Eva Moeller – Duhme manage the 4.2k distance and finish strongly, despite a knee problem. While on the injured list for running, Kev Davis and Erich Moeller – Duhme are not defeated and together walked the full course. A word of encouragement to all walkers, it doesn’t matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on a couch !
Jon Schol and Razz Morgan headed off to Canberra after their breakfast at the café on Saturday. We will be interested to hear how Jon fared in the Sri Chinmoy Triple Triathlon he is competing in during Sunday. This very tough event is held in and around the Capital City, obviously the course taking advantage of the nearby mountains and the city lake.
A BIG “Congratulations” to Karen File who competed in her first marathon event on Sunday 17th. at Jervis Bay. All Karen’s training has paid off as she finished the distance in 5:12:06 and placed 5th in her age category of 45 – 49yrs. A great effort Karen !
