2018 Scottish Waterfront 5k Race Wellington Tue 6 Nov

Another crappy chilly and windy day on the waterfront which I thought might keep people away. 

But no, about 156 turned up which proves that Wellingtonians are a hardy bunch. 

On the bright side the forecast for next Tuesday seems to be better although given the weather we are getting it could turn out to be fake news.

The first two runners through Daryl’s five eyes system were Levi Timar and Dan Jones both with a time of 15.47. Levi was slightly ahead of Dan at the finish but with a big 10k track race coming up this Saturday they weren’t really pushing it. It was probably just a tempo run.

Third was Paul Barwick in 16.51 who was just a couple of seconds off his best time for this course.

Will Critchlow on the comeback trail just fended off Trentham United junior Jonah Seeds, but there was a mighty finish-line battle between Welsh newcomer Twm (Tom in Welsh) Morgan and Josh Jordan who both got a time of 17.50.  I can’t wait for next week to see what might happen between the nipper and the fell runner.   




The experienced Natalie Hardaker was the first woman home in 19.19 which is a good time considering the conditions. 

Second was Kate Slater in 19.41 her first sub-20 and a hefty PB to boot. This was probably one of the best runs of the day.  

In third place was Emma Bassett in 20.52.

Observations:

There was no Sue Cuthbertson today. Daryl will need to investigate.

Daryl’s five eyes system was nearly blown over by a gust of wind, which is why he parked his car on the northern side of the finish line as wind protection.
