Scottish

The Loaded Hog Logo Eighty nine people participated tonight, including an excellent turnout of 21 walkers (nearly a quarter of the field); no doubt most are receiving guidance, motivation and tuition from Scottish’s walking guru Bart Jones. A blustery breeze confronted the competitors. Many refused, however, to let that stop them running PBs.

A special congrats to Diane Isherwood, Hayley Stephenson and Lucila van Dam who all took a huge chunk off their personal best times over 5k. Apologies to others if I missed noting your achievements.

Phil Dickens was fastest tonight in a time of 16:50 followed closely Mark Brocklehurst and Mark Te Punga. First woman home was a close affair but Sally Spencer pulled out a sustained sprint finish to record 19:24 – 12 seconds ahead of Rebecca Grainger, with next home being Michele Allison and Teresa Cox (welcome back Teresa!). First race walker home was Mike Lane in a time of 30:16 – over 1 minute ahead of Johnny Hines. First woman race walker was Lynn Broad with 33:13 but making great inroads tonight was Diane Isherwood – only 18 seconds back with an excellent time of 33:31.

Thanks to Dan, Kathryn, David, Todd, Api, Paul and Zachary for their excellent officiating again tonight.

Still large numbers of new participants – shows the word of mouth advertising is alive and working well. Thanks to all for your support of our series of 5k races and please support our races sponsors – the Loaded Hog and Lifestyle Sport at 53 Willis Street, whenever you can. I must say the Loaded Hog was humming – we really had a great atmosphere tonight, I felt!

See you all in a fortnight – Tuesday, 7 March 2006 – same time – same place. After that, we shall be back to a weekly 5k race – right through until Tuesday, 11 April 2006.
