Scottish

The Loaded Hog Logo 61 hardy participants completed the course this evening – despite gale-force northerly winds in exposed places. Accordingly, not too many PBs – in fact, some disclosed they had PWs. Sorry about that – especially after we had reconfirmed the 5k course measurements, but great commitment and an excellent training night.

First time Loaded Hog participant Timothy Neill (Wellington Harriers) cut out the course in 16:27 followed by Bryn Davies (Valleys United) with Bernie Portenski (Wellington Scottish) providing the fastest woman’s time in 18:39 with a minute or so back to Rebecca Grainger (Wellington Scottish). First race walker home was Bart Jones (Wellington Scottish) in a time of 32:13 with John Hines (Wellington Scottish) a few seconds back and then followed closely by first woman walker Lynn Broad (Olympic Harriers) with a good time of 32:50. Commiserations to walkers Colleen Singleton and Geoff Iremonger, both of whom were forced to withdraw from the race.

Given the conditions, it was great to be able to regather within the beautifully warm confines of The Loaded Hog’s latest new bar downstairs and enjoy the complimentary beverage on offer. The weekly Loaded Hog spot prizes were again well received by those who stayed on as was the Lifestyle Sports – 53 Willis Street – voucher of the week.

Thanks to Scottish members for your help officiating tonight’s race - Dan, Kathryn, Todd, Karl, as well as the other Scotties who were present – helping to introduce next week’s special night in support of the Cancer Society’s 2006 Relay for Life. Wellington Scottish will be donating $2 for every participant in next week’s race - to our team of runners, as a donation towards their contribution. Last year, from memory, they raised over $3000 for Cancer Research from their relay efforts.

I look forward to seeing huge numbers of participants in support next week – Tuesday, 14 March 2006 – same time, same place.
