Competitors for Week 2 certainly appreciated Willandra on Saturday without the wind. Thankfully, all participants had finished their event before the heavy rain started falling.
Some excellent performances were noted with Joel Harlor simply flying around the 2k course stopping the clock at 7.04. Four other members earned the title of ‘Improver of the Week’ by managing to improve by 50 seconds or more on their time for the previous week. Ayden Spicer (3k) Pam Henry & Linda Hastedt (4k) and Cristine Suffolk (6k) Well done!
Jon Scholl and Paul Jennings decided to up their distance to 6k, setting a good base time for their run over the two 3k laps will be looking to improve to keep up with Crissy.
Riley Prince and Katie Braddick finished strongly in the 1k with Riley just taking line honours. Young Charlie Henry added heartbreak hill to his 1k but pleased to note the extra distance didn’t affect his finishing smile!
Thank you to all participants – A special welcome to our youngest member, seven months old Hugh Prince who enjoyed his 1k ride with Mother Laura pushing his stroller. While at the other end of our age category we were pleased to welcome our three 4k walkers and of course our evergreen amazing Eva Mouller – Duhme in the 6k.
Quite a few of our members have entered the State Short Course XC Championships at Dapto on Sunday 19th July. We look forward to their efforts at this first ANSW event for winter 2020. We know they will all give their best.
Look forward to Saturday 18th July at Willandra for Week 3 around 2.30 – 3pm. New members very welcome to join or ‘try out’ for a walk or run. The distance is your choice.
