Summer Series is over
But is the Summer over?
Hard to believe that 8 weeks have passed in the current Summer Series of The ACT Cross Country Club.
Named after Dave and Susan Hobson, the last in the current series was held last night.
Due to a little shortness of helpers, I kept time for the 2km event, and the first three finished almost in a triple dead heat, with 4 line judges adjudicating on the close finish.
Less trouble in the 5km event, although with 154 finishers, the middle of the field finish was jam packed with several given equal times.
It's an eye opener seeing some give their all, while boy/girl friends are looking after their mates at the end, the males ensuring the females take the lower place card.
Even at the end of the field, there is a sprint to the finish.
Parents and friends give encouragement to all.
There is a longer run this weekend, and by all accounts so far, there should be a big field in the 16km around West Basin, from Black Mountain Peninsula at 7:00 am.
A satisfactory field should also go on to complete 2 laps of "Wastage."
Until Next Time.

Thanks so much for your best wishes for my Boston trip. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to drop by my blog.
I'm curious about your confidant! There were only a few people on Saturday who actually knew I ran Mt Taylor twice - although I didn't go all the way down for the second leg. You must be well connected, which is no surprise.
All the best to you and take care.
Don
