Quote of the day: A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. - John Barrymore
Here's a nice little puzzle to amuse you for a few minutes, Free the Bird
Thursday track report
Strong runs from Amanda in the 5k with 30 second pb, and Ewen a good season's best. A large field for the 5k championship proved right the decision to schedule it on a Thursday night; nevertheless I ran slowly to reserve my strength for the marathon in two weeks time, I would prefer it a little earlier in the season, say in February. But, at this time of year, cooler weather does make for faster times.
Track (and Field) Presentations
Some speedygeese got amongst the club awards. Sadly none in the Fristad awards, allthough Mick Horan did get a special mention there; the Pennington prizes went to Colin Farlow and Kevin Chamberlain, and the women's Moore series award to Kathy Sims.
The ACT Cross Country Club's Women's and Girls' 5k Fun Run
And so with one season drawing to a close (except for those running Nationals in two week's time), a new season starts up. This Sunday, 1 April, is the fun-run-with-the-long-name, for non-men.
Will Southy finish top ten, again? Will other speedy geese finish together in the top twenty? Perhaps, Maria and Katie again, with Amanda joining the party?
Over 800 have pre-entered, and there will be a long queue of late entries, which will be accepted at Stage 88 up until 15 minutes before the 9am start.
For those males who will be watching or waiting for friends/family, the organisers invite you to give a little of your time to help in the finish area with time etc during the peak period.
