Lovely spring weather was much appreciated and enjoyed by 28 competitors for week 9.
Young Owen Harlor took out line honours for the second week and improved his 1k time by 8 seconds. Well done Owen.
Great 3k running this week produced a male & female ‘Improver of the week’. Congratulations to Ayden Spicer who managed to reduce his best time by 15 seconds. Congratulations also to Olivia Oke who improved her PB by 10 seconds. These two athletes knew they had to work hard with back marker Joel Harlor winding down their lead. Joel finished strong in first place, in exactly the same time as last week. Certainly, a great effort by these three keen competitors.
Two 3k runners actually upped their distance to 4k this week. Ros Matthews and Kevyn Davis should be pleased with their times.
6k competitors decided to trial a 4k lap followed by 2k instead of the 2 x 3k. From all accounts the majority felt it did require more effort and times were slower!
Was good to welcome Josef Pitchler for his first run of the shortened winter season, Josef had the honours of first home in the 4k distance.
Thanks again to Bill Seary for recording and Carla Hill for place ticket handling.
September, Quote for the Month:
“Running is about finding your inner peace, and so is a life well lived.” Dean Karnazes ~
Dean is a runner and well known popular American author (especially about running).
Appreciation to Eva Moeller –Duhme for forwarding this very meaningful quote. This reminded me of a very wise quote read a few years ago by Delai Lama. “Don’t let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.”
Week 10 Saturday 12th coming up. Look forward to another enjoyable afternoon of activity at Willandra for all ages and abilities.
