Sunday 27 May long run report [Dave]: Well the results just keep getting better for Speedygeese - new PBs, more fun and better technology (thanks to William’s drone - see his YouTube video of Sunday’s run 😃)
Firstly, Saturday’s clear out performer was Jen Bright, running under 20 minutes at the YMCA Runners Club 5k. Even more impressive given her recent illness. I was 20 minute pacer at Tuggeranong parkrun and, even though followers were sparse, a few people did get PBs as a result. 😊
Sunday’s YMCA half marathon’s star was Giles Lamb, with a huge PB of 1:31:11. Mike also got a PB in 1:48:54. It looks like Ruth (2:09:44) and Jennie (2:11:44) might have got PBs as well. Roger did 2:03:00, Jeff 1:29:00, Rickie 2:04:44 and Thommo 2:55:00 (near enough). Meanwhile James got a PB at the 10k Merimbula fun run.
A bunch of us stopped by and cheered a few on during our Sunday “long” run and managed to catch a glimpse of Sandeep smiling on a run (a very rare event) 🤣. Sorry Sandeep I didn’t get your time. Meanwhile Jacob was just trotting around watching and did 22 k in about 1:30:00 😱 😱
Finally, in today’s Sri Chinmoy Cotter Canter trail run, there were cups all round. In the 5k Bron was 5th female in 26:20 and Dom got 27:24. In the 10k Graeme was 4th male 50-59, Sue 1st female 60-69, and Ewen 4th male 60-69. I was 1st male 60-69 in 45:59 and Narelle was today’s star getting 5th female overall in 46:17, a great performance given her UTA run last weekend followed by the flu. 😱
Great work everyone. Sorry if I missed anyone.
See you next week. 🤓
