speedygeese bag record

A dog of a day for a mob of bunnies as the speedygeese fly home with the bacon.

The speedgeese swept every other relay team aside and flew home in team record time in today's Weston Creek Half Marathon. As far as I know they ran about 5 minutes faster than any previous team.
Details:
Approximate time 1:26.40
Leg 1 8k hilly some headwind Andrew Simpson ~4:12 per km
Leg 2 6K of 3k slight uphill into headwind, then reverse Peter Burke ~4:00 per km
Leg 3 7.1k hilly some tailwind Sarah-Jayne Miller ~4:00 per km.

Despite an apparent attempt at interference at the last change we did not drop the baton. That's because there were no batons.

Fantastic running by all three and some great individual performances by those speedygeese who ran the full 21.1k. Results will be out in a few days I imagine.

Meanwhile Eliza helped me sweep the back-markers at Saturday's Parkrun

I enjoyed it and will do it again.
