Loaded Hog 5k Early Summer Series, Race Two, 17 October 2006  

72 participants competed in tonight’s Loaded Hog 5k event – with light southerlies prevailing to offer near-perfect conditions – even if a little chilly for the officials.

Fastest around the course tonight was Angus Jennings (Scottish) in a time of 16:20, just a couple of seconds off his best with Jeremy Boyd (Valleys) just 2 seconds behind in 16:22. Fastest woman tonight was Gabby O’Rourke (Wellington Harriers) in 17:31. This was just a second off Gabby’s best time on the course this season with Melissa Moon (Scottish) making her first appearance for a while in a waterfront 5k recording 17:51.

Quickest race walker tonight was first-timer to the series - Mark Woodhouse (Scottish) in a grand time of 28:55. From my recollection, this is the first sub–29-minute time recorded since Sept 2005 (when James Hurring and Amelia deLorenzo – both Wellington Scottish champion race walkers – blasted around in 26 minutes something. Next home was Mike Lane (Taranaki Walkers) in 29:43 with Simon Reynolds (Scottish) next in 31:27 (yet another PB). Fastest woman race walker was convert Melissa Carr (Olympic) in 31:47 – shedding nearly 30 seconds off her first attempt last week. She had a stirring finish with Andrew Shelley (Trentham) tonight and both crossed the finish locked together. Ingrid Woodhouse (Scottish) was next home in 33:29 in her first-ever Loaded Hog 5k walk. She also picked up the Lifestyle Sports - $50 prize of the week.

Thanks to Scottish Officials - Bob and Kathryn (deputy starter and timekeepers); David and Todd, plus P Teamers - Glen, Neville, Stu and Mike (turnaround).

It was great to enjoy the complimentary beverages in the lovely warm confines of our named sponsors – The Loaded Hog. I can say Scottish members recently enjoyed the great atmosphere of Loaded Hog’s Function Room – in celebrating the annual prize-giving last Saturday evening. We can thoroughly recommend "The Hog" to any corporate looking to hold a successful function in a great location with perfect ambience.

So until next Tuesday then. See you all on October the 24th.
