BBQ Stakes 9th June 2010

Today the temp was forecast to be a max of 10 degrees, yet 52 runners fronted and competed. They shed layers of warm gear just before running, some wore extra warm gear during the run.

Kerrie competed again, getting over her recent injury now. Garry Bowen broke his run of the same time on 3 successive events.

Winner today was Paul Barrington with 8 runs and a PB of 38:39. Second was Rad Leovic on 40:08, third was John Hall on 40:09. Speedy Geese were again present in force, their leader, Speedy Geoff recently ran the Doomben Half Marathon in 94:56, second in the M60 category with a time of 94:56.

Kathleen arrived earlier than in past weeks and finished about 40th or so.

There was no Matthew Murphy today, one of our regular fast runners, and Marc Wilson started earlier than the rest of the field.

Adrian mentioned that Lloyd Edwards, was relinquishing his role as coordinator of the Lake Tuggeranong Stakes as of next Tuesday. It is hoped that runners will compete in the Lakes Stakes next Tuesday to suitably farewell Lloyd. A regular contingent from Woden usually travel to that run, and others are invited to run at "Tuggers" next Tuesday to express their appreciation of Lloyd's commitment to Lunch Time Running in Canberra.
The start of that run is at 12:20 pm.
