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.
