The hills of Wagi Bridge parkrun!

Posted by speedygeoff on Saturday, November 09, 2019 with
Today I negotiated the hills (and strong wind) really well and even finished with very even splits, to run 13th in 23:44. This took a big slice off the M70 record, ~6 minutes from memory. Hmm, having Friday off did no harm.



Another speedygeese Cameron ran 11th. I nearly ran him down at the half way mark but the next uphill sorted me out.

I'm wearing the new speedygeese buff... It does keep the ears warm.

Here is a message from our President Peter Thomson:
Canberra Times Fun Run 10 November
  Thanks to all the people who have volunteered or will be pacers at the Canberra Times Fun Run (CTFR).  All up we have over 60 people helping out at the Fun Run.  The Club relies on people volunteering and I am really pleased we have been able to fill all the volunteer roles.
 Best of luck to the people in the Club’s CTFR Training Group – may you all finish with a smile!   
 I like to encourage all people who are running in the CTFR to wear Club singlets or shirts.   To assist this, we are clearing our current stock of the Club shirts and singlets for only $10!  
Committee matters
 Congratulations to Paul Mahoney who was formally appointed by the Club Committee as Chair of the 2020 Capital to Coast Sub-Committee and also appointed as the Race Director for the 2020 Race Director.
  We are seeking someone to Chair the 2020 Half Marathon sub-committee and to be the Race Director for the 2020 Half Marathon.  If you are interested in either or both of these roles please contact me.
 Jo Legge-Wilkinson has been doing some great work on merchandise and the plan is that there will be new club shirts with an updated club design available in the next few months.
Competition
The monthly Jogalong is on this Sunday in Weston Park starting at 9am. There is a 1.6km for young  children and a 3km and 6km for older females.
 The Spring Series starts next Tuesday (Melbourne Cup day) at 6:15 pm at the Boathouse. You can choose between the 2 km or the 5 km races.  This first event of the 2019 Spring Series is the 100th Spring Series event.  I particularly want to congratulate and thank Dave Osmond who has overseen the Spring Series since before our club started.    Also, special mention to Jim White who has run in 99 Spring Series events to date. 
Dave Osmond is looking for people to either organise the Spring Series events or to assist with them. Please contact Dave if you can help at davo.osmond@gmail.com .
Peter

Monday evening speedygeese training

Posted by speedygeoff on Tuesday, November 05, 2019 with
We ran a 700m "figure 8" loop with two uphills, 6 times.... and some did 5 pushupsx5 as well. Participating were Patrick (new), Mick, Ewen, Richard, Jennie, George, Gwen, Sév, James, Ruth, Trevor, Nathan, Rae, Narelle, Emily (new), Dave, Jen, Deborah and me. Weather was fine, coolish breeze, perfect for running and for standing around chatting afterwards.

Thursday evening training at Stromlo Forest Park

Posted by speedygeoff on Friday, November 01, 2019 with
There were Mike L'Pirate with an armful of speedygeese buffs, Ruth, Paul Q, Tim (new), Dave, Jen, Isaac, Jennie, Andrew, Celina, Kevin, Lisa, Colin, and me, and we ran 8x300m with 100m walk recovery. It wasn't overly hot but a refreshing drink afterwards was most welcome. I also saw Thach and Ryan out there training, among many others.
