BBQ Stakes 11 th January 2012

A large field today, with a small shower just before 12 noon, and a heavy shower during the run time. Nevertheless 68 runners today including Helen Larmour's son, not disgraced in this field, he has attended before, but I think this is his first completion of the stakes. Simon was the winner today, at 40:15, he has 41 runs to his credit, and now 3 wins with a P.B. of 29:36 on 1 May 2011. Second was Leanne Wilkes, a regular participant, and 3rd was Jeff King from IP Australia.

A bit of a hiccup with runners across the line not getting their correct finishing card. It behoves all runners across the line to display a bit of discipline to make sure they get their correct finishing place card. It helps to stay in line until the finishing card is obtained.
