Lake Ginninderra Handicap 26 th February 2013
Officials: Gerard Wildie, Alistair Rogers, Doug Fry.
23 runners today, and Jeff Grey had another win.
Jeff also mentioned the Vets Championships entry date fast approaching.
Phillip Carruthers ran today, closing in on run number 200, but was pipped today by Jim Roberts,who is the first to complete 200 Lake Gnninderra Handicaps. Ian Hore, a keen golfer, moved workplaces to Belconnen recently, he now regularly runs in this event, and today completed the 7km event in 34:44.
Rad Leovic also did his best, to finish in 53:16, after running the Vets Handicap on the weekend.
Seems likeRad has overcome his shin splints problem, as well as taking out several Championship medals at the Vets Thursday nights at the AIS events.
Simon Wall talked about Lunch at Paris; if he is in England, he could reach Paris for lunch and return the same day. He has a good restaurant in mind to make the trip worthwhile.

This month's handicap was all
about Jim Roberts completing his 200th run. What an amazing achievement. Jim ran
in the first two Ginninderra handicaps back in 1983 before some of our
handicappers were even born and has managed to get in at least a couple of runs
each year since. Jim has a PB of 29.51 which as set on 02/09/1986 in handicap no
37. He has won once and been second on two occasions. Jim was awarded first pick
of the wines this month in honour of his achievement. For any new runners aiming
to achieve the 200 run mark, if you start now and run every month you should be
able to achieve it just prior to 2030.
The handicap itself belonged to Jeff Grey who won it for the fifth time. He was also the fastest (27.10) with the only sub 30 minute time of the day. The fact that no one arrived home prior to the 50 minute mark (apart from Ian Hore who would have been a comfortable winner of the event but started early) reflected the humid conditions which made the going tough. Simon Yelland and Michael Taylor filled the minor placings.
Grant Thomas chalked up 50 runs this month.
