BBQ Stakes Wednesday 14th March 2012

Geoff Hawke returned to the stakes today, after several months, due to being injured. Bob Harlow also ran today, apparently runners in Canberra are blessed with multiple choices of events. Bob participates in many triathlons around the country. Leanne Wilkes has now been one year without a win.

70 ran today, and were following Julie Quinn, who achieved her first win at 39:33; that she had not won more stakes runs, was a surprise to many others. Of course, she competes in many long distance events during the weekends, so may relish a short run at the stakes. She has run 63 times for a P.B. of 25:19, in August 2010. Talwar Singh finished at 39:40 for second. and Alex was third placed. Elle ran a fast 25 minutes last week. A T-shirt for 100 runs was given to John Scheding, whose first stakes was in September 2004, he also runs the Customs Joggers events.
