Lifestyle Sports 5k 2004

And so it finished, not with a bang, but a wet whimper; a cold, damp southerly guaranteeing positive splits for most of us. In the run, 16-year-old Shaun Hunt won in 16:11 in a return performance, leading in Ben Revell and Barry Ledington. For the women, Gabby O'Rourke ran 17:50, about two minutes ahead of the second woman, Suzi Richards, winner of the Petone half a couple of weeks ago.

It was a a pretty good turnout considering the conditions. Some people waited until this evening to put in an appearance. Included in this category were the first two walkers: James Hurring (26:27) and Amelia de Lorenzo (27:31).

Lifestyle Sports special prizes were awarded to: Adam Carlson, Asics running shoes, for competing in at least six of the races; and to Aucklander John Lacey, Asics running shoes, for showing improvement over five races. Note that Race 2 and Race 8 results were not included in the overall assessment (because of the rotten weather conditions).

Thanks to the team of organisers: Dan Powell setting us off and timing our finishes, Charles Broad marshalling at the turn, recorders Alan Stevens, Kathryn Fraser, Karl Woodhead, Bob Stephens and Jim Kerr, at the prize-giving. Congratulations to all of you who competed regularly and showed personal improvements throughout the series.

A final thank you to our sponsor. The Lifestyle Sports 5k series has concluded, but the specials continue: Get 20% off ALL ASICS – be in quick!!! Say you’ve heard of the Scottish 5k series to show your support of our principal sponsor.
