Loaded Hog 5k Race, Summer Series, Race 1, Queens Wharf, 9 October 2007

Almost calm tonight with just a light northerly to confront the 68 participants prepared to turn out. It would seem many harriers were taking a break after the weekend’s NZ Road Relay Champs in Timaru.

Runners : Fastest around the 5k course tonight was Paul Bird (Wellington Harriers) in 17:19. Second place went to Greg Taylor in 17:39 with a few seconds back to Dave Parsons in third with 17:46. Fastest woman again tonight was Carline Thomas (Wellington Harriers) in a time of 20:08. Next home was newbie Rachel Neutze in 20:49 with third going to another first time participant tonight in Dawn Kelly who posted 22:12. An interesting point was that both winners backed up from their trip to Timaru so it obviously did them no harm.

A huge number of eason’s PBs tonight – in fact nearly a quarter of the field. However, a couple deserve special mention. Mandy Simpson (Scottish) also backing up from a good run in Timaru took almost 30 seconds off her 5k personal best tonight – a great effort Mandy! Father and son duo Alan and Chris Leatham both recorded series PBs tonight with Alan (dad) having his last run with us before heading back to the UK later this week. Travel safe Alan – it’s been great to have you join us. Keep up the good work back home.

Walkers:  The numbers and the quality athletes returned tonight with Jan Bliekendaal heading the field in just a tick over 30 minutes in 30:05. Second home was Ian Morton in 30:42 and young Alison Samson took third on adjusted time after starting 4 minutes behind the field. She walked 30:55 in total. Next home was Terri Grimmett in 32:55.

Thanks to the Scottish masters men team members for officiating this evening – John Skinnon, Api Williams, Mark Dollimore, Jonathon Harper, David Lonsdale (on video duty again) along with Todd Stevens and starter Dan Powell.

Thanks again to the Loaded Hog for sponsors product as prizes and for the complimentary beverages afterwards whilst we watched footage of tonight’s race. Winner of the Lifestyle Sports $50 weekly voucher was Matt Thomas – and well received that was as well by the look of the victory punch that Matt registered…
