No Posts Since April !!!!

What a long time without a posting.

But I've been running and running, and achieved a six day streak.
That is six successive days of running.

And preparation of the June Edition of Canberra Runner, which is now at the printers.

The Canberra Marathon Eve and Marathon has been run, and the Canberra Half Marathon was a great success.

Timing at those events was achieved with a Seiko timer, with a big roll holder, and a big roll of printer tape.

The roll allows for 2400 lines of print, which comfortably accommodated all finishers in the Marathon and Ultra, and all finishers in the Half Marathon.

The usual practice in the past was to start 4 clocks and switch clocks at each 400 finishers.
The big roll procedure needs no such change, although managing the larger than usual printout needs careful management of the paper printout, it actually is wound up inside a paper roll holder.

Well, that's my post for now, and I'll be going out for the 6km BBQ Stakes today.

Yesterday at Lake Tuggeranong Stakes, Ian C completed his 500th run, and was awarded an appropriately numbered T-Shirt, he has also been involved in the administration of that run, and is an ACT Athletics Official.

Until Next Time.

I'm surprised you have time to blog at all!

Thanks for getting the Mt Tugg results up so fast. Hopefully I'll get onto my report next week.
