BBQ Stakes 2nd March 2011

BBQ Stakes 2nd March 2011:-

A field of 51 today, with Matthew Murphy 50 th to sign on. Terry Levings finished in 52nd place, but admitted there were no others yet to finish after him.

So, maybe there was one person who didn't sign on.

After sorting out last week's results, when Laura Toyne was declared the winner, Terry Dixon braved the sharks newr Rottnest Island for a swim of something like 7 hours. John Busteed and Glen Croker nearly dead heated near the finish line, but Glen pipped John on the line for one better place.

Heather Powrie had on her new Garmin and sought help in pressing the right buttons, she found that she had to keep the buttons pressed for a few seconds.

Laura Toyne talked about her time of 2 years in Darwin, and her adventures with the Darwin Runners Club. They have a membership fee, with regular runs at various places around the city. There are not many safe places to run, traffic wise, but they still manage regular runs.

The overall winner today was Andrew Blyton at 39:38, with 115 runs, 5 wins, and a P.B. of 24:26 in October 2009. Second was Lloyd Edwards on 39:45, and Andrew Guild looking like he was nearly exhausted at the line in 40:22. Raymond Chao was fourth eligible today, and is in heavy training for the Canberra Marathon.
