CWD 5th September 2020

Posted September 4, 2020

Dedicated timer Michael Sharp puts a lot of time and effort into doing the timing and results. It is only on the odd occasion he actually gets to let loose and have a run. The entire Runners Club community are very thankful for everything Michael does.

Kinisha Roweth reports:

After a change back to the Botanic Gardens for last Sunday’s run, President Coops decided we would run the laps in reverse (clockwise) for a bit of a switch. It was fantastic to receive so much positive feedback about this change.

The leading runners over the one to six lap distances were:
1.6km – Female – Abigail Mclean 12:14, Ursula Wilson 12:26, Glenys Rosser 14:12.
Male – Gareth Thomas 12:25.
3.2km – Female – Amber Rich 14:01, Claire Gates 19:27, Anne-Marie Ryan 20:37.
Male – Michael Sharp 18:16, David Ross 18:36, Trevor Jones 20:50.
4.8km – Female – Bridget Cockburn 28:49, Kelly Jurd 29:30, Michelle Whiteley 29:39.
Male – Peter Finlay 20:58, Daniel Finlay 22:00, Greg Shapter 32:10.
6.4km – Female – Kinisha Roweth 30:59, Alicia Ross 32:59, Alicia Anelzark 32:59.
Male – Jack Daintith 24:20, Mike Cooper 31:43, Richard Hogg 36:33.
8km – Female – Judy Tarleton 1:01:50.
Male – Cameron Ross 38:42, Peter Regan 44:21, Russell Tym 53:18.
9.6km – Female – Leanne Corcoran 43:24, Ayako Kusui 48:45, Kim Jarvis 1:00:24.
Male – Iain Mclean 39:22, Daryl Roweth 46:46, Anthony Daintith 47:43.

At Elephant Park on a beautiful and warm Wednesday night, 45 starters took to the track completing 1, 2 or 3 laps.

Leading the Male runners, we had Jack Daintith 9:56, Joel Broadfoot 11:20 and Iain Mclean 11:23. Taking it out for the Female runners we had Leanne Corcoran 12:03, Kinisha Roweth 12:26 and Karen Mudge 14:40. Jack Daintith is still getting quicker knocking off another second this week to bring his PB down to 9:56. Also achieving PB’s this week was Sarah Passey – 25 seconds off bringing it down to 16:10 and Frank Salmon-Meek – knocked 10 seconds off making his PB 17:06.

If you think you have some bling waiting for you, please check at your next run to see if one of the awaiting achievement medals has your name of it.
