A combination of winter chills and winter ills has certainly affected our attendance numbers over the past two weeks.
Nevertheless, despite the gale force westerly winds, which Willandra is famous for, some members have achieved PB ‘s which is very encouraging.
For Week 20, the popular 1k was run in reverse for all in attendance. Runners and walkers wishing to complete 2k, 3k or 4k turned around at the 1k finish to complete their distance from the normal start position.
Week 21 with cold gale force westerly winds, 4k participants chose to do a 1k followed by 3k. This again was a good choice as Paul Jennings (run) and Kayleen Lawrence (walk) both managed very good PB’s!!. Our star masters runner Cristine Suffolk, having set a new record for the 4k in Week 19 was keen to have a go at the 6k Best on Record for her age category.
Running 2 x 3k’s in the windy conditions Crissy was only 26 seconds away from the record. Well done!
Young Henry Tait chose the windy day to move from the 1k distance to 2k for the first time and has set himself a good time to improve on. Well done Henry.
Next Saturday, 26th August the Australian Cross Country Championships will be held in Canberra. Victory Runners is extremely proud to have two girls competing for NSW.
Annie Dziubinski is in the 10yrs Girls 2k Distance and Bridget Fairs the U/18 4k event,
We certainly wish them all the best and trust the experience will be rewarding and enjoyable.
Week 22 will be conducted at Willandra on Saturday 26th, members and visitors very welcome ~ start time 3.00pm. Hopefully a wind free afternoon!
