This week’s event attracted 35 competitors with 16 virtual runners timing themselves over one of the 3 distances. Strong winds confronted the 19 actual runners in todays run over 5 kilometres. It is outstanding to see young boys Tino Lopresti, Selby Johnston and Will Corkin tackle this distance. It was Will’s first attempt, and he ran strongly. Tino managed a top 5 place against very experienced runners, for a 11-year-old he shows outstanding promise.
Personal best times were hard to come by in the conditions nevertheless Bernie Lambert, Richard Scholes, and Tori Hennig managed to improve. Tori backed up strongly after competing in the Stromlo Running Festival in Canberra last weekend over 30 kilometres and where she finished a creditable 3rd in her age group.
