Fortunately, weather was in our favour for Friday Fun activities and Saturday Sunrise run / walk
Eleven year old Ruby French set the bar high in completing 11 circuits of the obstacle course. Well done Ruby. Young Owen Harlor in his first Friday Fun activity managed to complete 5 circuits and improved with each one. Older brother Joel easily managed 8 circuits and finished the evening with a quick 2k run.
The lovely cool temperature on Saturday morning was very much appreciated by the runners and walkers as they made their way along the banks of the Shoalhaven River. Cristine Suffolk led the 4k runners home with Razz Morgan second and clocking a great improvement time wise. Not to be outdone by Razz, Kirsten Pichler also set herself a new PB. Our 2k runners and 3k walkers also showed good improvement.
Congratulations to Jon Schol on his amazing effort as a solo competitor in the Triple Triathlon in Canberra on Sunday 17th November. Jon won his age category, 50 + yrs and finished the event in 14:15:05 hours which gave him the honour of Second overall, against competitors nearly half his age! We salute you Jon, this is an outstanding display of your physical and mental strength, talent and endurance. Victory Runners are very proud of your victory in achieving this excellent result.
Hope all are inspired by Jon’s accomplishment and are looking forward to Saturdays Sunrise run / walk on 30th. of November. This will be at a new venue in Callala Bay. Start / finish area at the Boat Ramp in Sheaffe Street. New and interested runners, joggers or walkers very welcome. Start 8am, distances from 2k through to 4k. The course doesn’t involve any running on roads so is very safe. I have also been advised that a coffee shop is available!!
Last chance to publish our November quote: Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.”
