Tonight’s 103 hardy runners and walkers would have finished
a bit battered and bruised by the feisty northerly that built-up throughout the
day. That wind was ferocious and I doubt
there would be many PB’s so Poo to that!
Daryl decided the wind was too strong for his flags and for
the second time this year parked his car on the north side of the finish area
to protect his Five-Eyes recording system from being blown onto Wakefield
street.
I pity the Santa’s in tomorrow’s Christmas Santa Run who
will possibly get both strong wind and rain.
The first woman home tonight was Myra Moller in 21.06 which might
be her inaugural run. Not the best conditions for a first run around the
waterfront but at least the time will be an automatic PB.
Next was Sarah Fountain in 22.19 which is her first top 3
placing since Feb this year, so well done Sarah?
Third across the line was Maree Carson in 22.31 on her 2nd
outing in this race and in trying conditions at that. At least it wasn’t
raining.
In the men’s race Cameron Goldsmid cleaned up scoring a 16.52
win. This is by no means Cam’s fastest time for this event but it is good to
see him back and in reasonable shape.
Two minutes back and in second place was James Marshall with
a time of 18.50. This is JM’s best placing forever and the time isn’t bad
considering the trying conditions.
Not to be forgotten and back in third was Jake Hanson who
finished in 19.11. This is Jake’s slowest time on this course but his best
placing. There is always next week though.
Other Stuff
There were lots of Kaizen T-shirts on parade tonight. There
must be a story there.
Athletics NZ wrongly reported that the winner of last week’s
race was Mark Moore. It was in fact Finn Molloy as Mark was not even a starter.
