Caroline Claims Silver

The Women’s Jogalong was held this morning in blistering, blustering, and blazing heat. Team Moore was again prominent although the field was understandably smaller than usual.

. Caroline Campbell ran second on handicap. She thinks she was third but she was actually second. Her time was around 29.48. Now if they don't put her back too many groups ..

Katie Kicks "Donkey"

. Katie ran an exceptional 25.54 for one of the fastest times in the 5.56k. Katie's place was eleventh on handicap despite being off group 42. A good start to the year.

. Just ten seconds slower than Katie was allrounder who ran a great 26.04

Heat Hits Handicap

"Oh Boy" it was hot this morning. Canberra's forecast is 38 degrees, same as yesterday, although here in Belconnen it was 41 yesterday. Can't wait for that change! In the olden days, hot summer days in Canberra might reach 30, but only once or twice would peak at 35.
