Random Ngaroto Relay 2020 Results

03/10/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Report by Dave Gunn

Well summer is almost upon us, and Saturday was a near perfect day for a hard run around a picturesque lake. As an alternative to the NRR racing in Fielding we held our own NRR (Ngaroto Random Relay – or NgarotoNowhere….) out near Te Awamutu – a 3 person mixed relay event around the 5.9km track circumnavigating the lake.

Once (almost) everyone arrived – we set to, picking teams of matched ability – no mean feat – but Glenn had a plan…Line up fastest to slowest, split into 3 groups, shuffle, move about re-group and hey presto we have 6 x teams of 3, and 3 teams of 2 in the kids race…!

And with the invite extended to a couple of other clubs, Cambridge dispatched a team of hot shots to come and take us down…(Well it was actually the Reece-Jones family – but they all did really well..)

Then once racing order was decided within each team, names were taken, bibs handed out, and the first runners gathered at the start line in anticipation…

And off they went…

Once out of sight around the corner, the rest of us could relax and await their return….which should be around 26 mins for the first runners. However the kids 2 person race was a 1.5k out and back – so they were back in a flash, handed the batons over and the second and final runners were off…! Some really good racing here with some slick times, and 4 of the 6 runners within 10 secs of each other for their 3km – well done all…

The first of the adult runners back was Maureen in a great time of 26:35, followed by Sandra. Before long all the leg 2 runners were off, and by the time they got around the back of the lake, we could see there was only a few hundred metres separating them all at the midway point.

Back at base Rob was listening to all the ribbing and smack talk (all from fellow Hawks I might add…) about how Steve RJ was plotting his downfall, changing into racing flats etc, not helped by some mean fellow showing him how Steve was the current holder of the Strava CR for the full lap…Anyway, before you could say “head games” they were all back and the third and final lap was underway…Joe was first runner back from lap 2, followed closely by Chloe, with Gary hard on her heels. This meant Rob had a slender 5 second lead over Steve RJ, with the Lilly leading them out by 15 seconds…Well the inevitable happened and Steve RJ ran a blinder to take the win for his team (Wendy F, Garry, and Steve) in a respectable time of 1:16:57 for the 17.7km race…Congratulations.

Rob managed to maintain second spot (for Kaye, Chloe and himself) around 2 mins behind, but Chris Smith had another solid run to take the fastest lap time of any of the Hawks to bring his team of Maureen, Emily and himself home in 3rd.

Once the racing was over we stayed around to enjoy the weather, the outlook and a selection of sausages (vegetarian, gluten free, and meaty) from the BBQ.

In summary it was a really fun day with everyone in good spirits, and I think the consensus was we should definitely make it happen again next year…

No Ngaroto No

Report by Sandra Jensen
I’ve run around Lake Ngaroto plenty of times but have never raced around it.Its been well updated and cared for so the course is easy-ish to run with no hills and you cant get lost. I did prefer it when it was more ramshackle and random. When you’d have to climb a stile and run over what seemed like a paddock (are we allowed here?) and it had a few more bumps n lumps and character.
I don’t think too many people were lamenting the lack of road relays this year. 2020 has been the year of which we do not speak of. A soon to (hopefully) be distant memory of a year that bypassed us and shall be forgotten. Stuck in the back of the cupboard like those 80’s school photo albums.
But hey its always cool to do a new event and relays are the new black don’t ya know.Teams of three were picked and myself, Shona and Mark were the glamour squad. The president, a tattooed lady and a bodybuilder. Which also meant that poor Mark had no say in the order of the running. Who would argue with the president of the club?
I started, and brought us in at second place not too far behind Maureen. It was harder to race than I thought mainly as I didn’t like the very loose gravel for quite a bit. I had issues getting traction and by the time we got to the board walk of shame my legs were jelly. A slight sprint finish was necessary tho possibly not very glamorous. Dave had hoped to get a photo of me vomiting but not today Dave, not today…

Shona in all her ladylike splendor lost our lead but hey its a sunny day, we are out n about and who cares. Mark tried his damndest (we hope) and alas we did indeed come last but you know what…it doesn’t matter. we looked pretty good out there and we ran our hardest on a sunny, beautiful day. Kaye had beers for after, the snags were being cooked and I walked away with a near full loaf of gluten free bread.Its a win win!

6 out of 10 would run again.

Lets make it a new regular event.

Sing Relay 2020 Results

12/09/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Rhys Mildon

It started out like any other sunny Saturday afternoon.

Although the entry numbers were down, our spirits were not, and with only 17 adult runners one dog and 2 kids it was going to be a small field full of quality runners.

With myself wrongfully thrown into fastest runner position I teamed up with the ever reliable Gilbert McDonald, after a few misunderstandings between the two of us about the turnaround and the baton change rules we soon figured it out and took the start line…… although momentarily held up by the fact I had a horse race to watch in the closing seconds of the start countdown (thank you all for your patience and no it wasn’t a winner)

All 8 teams took the start line plus Mark Scott and his k9 companion Max, as usual Rob went like a cut cat from the outset and set a torrid pace, soon to be caught be me and later by the many Margueritas he slurped back the night before.

At the turn around I lead narrowly from Rob followed by a mass group chasing us down, Rob turned earlier than I and after that I barely saw another soul and my pace dropped dramatically till I sighted Gilbert who was dawdling towards the finish line waiting for me to catch up, when I yelled out I was approaching he sprinted that fast I couldn’t even get near him (man’s got a good turn of foot)

The victory went to Mark Cornaga and Paul Ewart narrowly over Mark Scott and Max.
With just over 2.1/2 minutes covering the whole field over the finish it was a very even and brilliantly organised race thanks to Dave Gunn and co.

[Foot note – the two running the kids race seemed to have an absolute blast as apparent in the great finish line photo! Fantastic seeing young ones enjoying themselves…]

And a different perspective from Dawn…

Sing Relay

Dawn Tuffery

Sing Relay coincided with a gorgeous Saturday as a keen gang of Hawks congregated in Memorial Park. This one has a fun format – teams of two head out on an out-and-back, with the slower person carrying a baton. The faster runner turns at the turnaround, takes the baton from their teammate when they meet them, and heads back once more to the turn, while the other runner can head back. The aim is for both runners to cross the line together, in as fast a time as they can collectively muster. Cue the always-fun line-up from (alleged) slowest to fastest, where there was a lot of this:

Marc was the odd person out, so got paired with his dog Max. Was this a bold burglary attempt? Time would tell. Everyone sped off optimistically. I was paired with Kirsten, kept her mostly in sight while puffing behind, and changed baton around the top of the last uphill. We appeared to be in a good position, so I didn’t get to relax as much as I fancied, in case she appeared behind me too early. I caught Marc and Max, and contemplated throwing a stick for canine distraction but it would have taken too much effort. Paul zipped by in a strong (non-24-minute-5k) pace, having handed over his baton to Mark C. Ultimately this strong duo would take it out, from Mark and Max who had a woofing good end rally, and Kirsten and I followed.

Great storytelling Dawn!
There was reportedly only 2.5 minutes or so between all teams, so well done to everyone, and thanks to Dave and helpers for setting it up. Marc produced some refreshing homebrew, some Hawks had a beverage at the Eastside, and a good time was had by all.

Kinloch Off-Road Challenge 2020 Results

Kinloch Off-Road Challenge
Report by Mike Harris

After a year of disappointments with so many events being cancelled it was exciting to be able to run the Kinloch Off-Road Challenge, despite it being a somewhat modified version in order to abide by COVID level 2 restrictions.

It was almost perfect weather conditions with overcast skies, no wind and mild temperatures. Helen, Colin, WendyF and I donned our COVID masks for registrations which were managed in an orderly fashion with limited numbers due to runners being split into waves of different start times so that there were no more than 100 runners on the track at any one time.

Helen almost didn’t get to the start as she was randomly chosen for the compulsory gear check and failed. A very kind marshal (thank you Rosalie) lent her seam-sealed jacket and all was well.

After the race briefing with appropriate social distancing, the 8 a.m. half marathon wave was off. I set myself for a steady effort to the halfway point which basically was the top of the ascent and at that point was feeling good and decided to up the effort for the return trip. It was a “glorious” downhill track which kept my heart-rate down whilst running as quick as I could and negotiating the twists and turns of the track.

At the downhill pace I was going I was surprised not to see anyone again till I crossed the finish line. A few hours later we were back down cheering on Mike R as he was speed walking the 10k course. He even picked up a runner along the way and kept her running beside him!

It was a very well organised event, especially with all the COVID considerations and I will certainly be back next year.

Sweeney Cup 2020 Results

29/08/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

It was another good turnout in warm fine conditions out at Horsham Downs for this event – a handicap 8k out and back course where you assigned a start time based on your estimated 5k time, and start when the countdown clock hits your time. Then you are off, with the aim of catching those in front of you while not being caught by those starting after you…

Nice to see some new faces at the event – I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and we hope to see you again at more events in the future!

A ‘flying’ Vaughan Swale on his way to taking out the win!
Maybe it was the heat, or the wind, or the hilly course – but I heard many say it was a tough day out with times slower than expected for a number of runners…apart from Chris S however who dipped under 30 mins to take out the fastest time of the day, but it was Vaughan Swale who was the overall Sweeney Cup winner in the end, congratulations…

WaiBOP Road Champs 2020 Results

23/08/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Report by Dave Gunn

We were lucky in the Waikato to remain in Level 2 restrictions for this event which meant while entries were limited, and supporters/spectators weren’t able to attend, we were at least still able to hold the event. Conditions were good, with a little wind to keep us all cool while we battled our way around St Peters school on an out and back 2.5km course.

Restrictions meant that the juniors had to complete their race first while the older competitors warmed up around the grass track next to the car park. A shame in some ways we couldn’t support the up and coming wave of runners, but by all accounts (and by the look of the photos) there was some great racing, with Boh Ritchie having another strong run to take out the U14 Girls race.

Next up was the adult races, which for the Senior Men 10k was won is a sharp time of 32:37 by Sam Tanner. That is one of the great things about this event is you get to run alongside some world class athletes!

There were plenty of other strong runs by a number of Hawks including PB’s to Charli Miller (fastest Hawks time of the day!) and Rob T. It was also great to see Bridget D and Dawn racing again – with a great quote by Dawn to me before the start “well you have to put yourself through it every now and then”. Sums it up pretty well I thought. Also a great finish by Grahame Clarkin storming over the finish line in an all out effort…Impressive.

My count makes it 18 medals going to Hawks runners in total…Fantastic effort!

I would also like to say a big thanks to all those who helped organise and run the day in challenging circumstances. We all appreciate your efforts and the fact that we could still get to compete.

Once again congratulations to all those who competed.

Trophy Day 2020 Results

15/08/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

This year produced fast times on a slightly shorter course (approximately 4.85km) due to road works.

What a stunning day for a hard run along the riverbank…Yet another great turnout for the Trophy Day club event – a handicap 5km race from the Museum at the top of Grantham st, across the bridge, down to Cobham Bridge, then return to the club on the western river path. You submit an estimate of your 5km time, and then when the countdown clock hits your time – you are off…

The plan if everyone is honest and realistic is for all runners to hit the finish line at the same time (tough job for the timekeepers!) – but as always there are those that run better/worse than expected and so it is spread out when we hit the finish line…

Trophy day (a view from the other side)

Report by Lucie Kibblewhite

I’ve never run trophy day, last year I was in the UK and this year I am out injured. So I volunteered to do the timing with Glenn, thinking how hard can it be. Well apart from a tricky little spreadsheet, turns out not that bad.

What was hard was getting everyone to agree to their handicap.
Firstly – the mini competitions. “What time has that person put?” “I’ll go the same as so and so” There were claims of underselling and burgling.
Secondly – the changes of mind when everyone got talking out on the lawn before the race started. Vaughan Kestle gets the award for how many times he changed his estimated time.

Then up at the start line came the tactics…
Everyone started eyeing up who was going at the same or a similar time to them. Then came the thoughts that while someone might pull away they would slow slightly in the second half and the prospect of reeling them in or that some people are consistent and they can’t be able to get too far ahead or you won’t beat them.

And finally the smack talk, the trying to encroach on the start line to get a 5cm head start and the argy-bargy that came with that.

I can successfully say though that everyone got away at their allotted times and after that it was just the small task of recording everyone coming across the line. The bulk of the field finished within about a 2 mins of each other so for the most part, after all the too’ing and fro‘ing and the tactics, everyone’s estimates turned out to be pretty accurate.

A special shout out must go to Pat Gallagher for guessing his time spot on and to Peter Horan for being wrong by more than 5 minutes!

Dudfield Duathlon 2020 Results

08/08/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Great fun, and a good challenge for those new to multi sport type events (how tough is it to run hard straight off the bike!) but also for the seasoned pro’s.

We turned up at Race Headquarters (aka Graham’s house) where we registered, picked up our timing bibs, and admired the assortment of lycra on show…! After a bit of sandbagging and pre-race smack-talk we transitioned (that’s ‘tri” talk for those new to the game) down to the start/finish line on Peacockes rd. After some final gear checks and course briefings – we were under starters orders….3,2,1 and we are off…

Immediately Rob T showed a clean pair of heels with Paula and Dave G in hot pursuit…The runners soon sorted out their respective positions and it was head down and get to work….the first run leg is only 2.5km so before we knew it – we were back at the transition, and (at least some of us) fumbling for our helmets/shoes/hats etc…definitely some gains time wise to be made here….I think Shona had the right idea and ran/biked in her running shoes so saved many valuable seconds at the changeover…

Then it was the bike leg – 6km each way out to the end of Peacockes road and back. I have ridden this road a few times, but for some reason the hills seemed longer and higher this time? And there was fierce gale on the first half which really slowed me down [editor note Met Service had it pegged at around 11kmh so not exactly a gale]. It was a little better on the return leg downhill and with the wind – which is a cyclist’s favourite position…

Rob had led out the cycling leg but was eventually run down (or is that biked down) by Blair on his super aero TT bike – great average speed by Blair – well on his way to winning the teams section with Paula…

Rob had another strong run on the second run leg, but it wasn’t enough to catch Paula, who had another outstanding run to bring it home for Team Blair & Paula….

Other notable efforts were Kevin Knowles with 2 very fast, and even run legs, and Shona for doing it tough on the only mountain bike, while everyone else was on sleek road going machines…Also Graham Clarkin who turned up and won the 5km time trial.

Final results as below:

Lake D Relay 2020 Results

25/07/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Report by John Crane

It was looking like a nice, warm Saturday afternoon as 30 runners gathered just north of Horsham Downs for the Lake D Relay … or was it 27 runners, or 29 … no it’s 28 … hold on, Kevin’s still warming up and Andrew can run … it’s 30 after all (thankfully!).
A moment of stress for Lucie as she lined everyone up to select evenly matched teams of 3 for the 3 x 3km relay.

The line-up from fastest to slowest was looking a bit suspect in places … Rob using the excuse of an Espresso Martini induced hangover to slip a little lower down the order. He then went on to produce the fastest lap of the day (10:52) … so the Espresso Martini may need to be part of his regular pre-race build up.

Then the sun disappeared, the wind got up and it started to get a bit cooler as the lap 2 and 3 runners grabbed an extra layer to keep warm.
It was clear from the start that teams had opted for different strategies … some ‘front-loading’ with their fastest runner going first in an attempt to build an unassailable lead, whilst others were relying on a glory-lap from their last runners to steal it at the end.
A slight hold up at the start as Gilbert had to go through the unfamiliar exercise of putting shoes on…then we were ready to go.

Teams 26 (Dave Gunn) and 29 (Iain Rattray) got off to good starts with their front-load approach, but it wasn’t to last as team 25 (Hayden Cressy, Dave Clark and Joe Mace) stormed through to take the honours, just 5 seconds ahead of team 28 (Mark Cornaga, Madison Rattray and Chris Keith). Fastest laps were Rob Townsend (10:52), Chris Smith (11:01) and John Crane (11:06) – I had to get my name in the write-up somehow…

A great job by team selector Lucie, with less than 5 minutes separating all 10 teams. Also some close racing all round … less than a minute separating the 10 fastest times.
If you haven’t been for a run around Lake D you should head over for a few laps one day – it’s a great little circuit and running surface.

Thanks heaps to the organisers for the day and to Wendy and Mike Harris for bringing the BBQ and sausages to cap-off an enjoyable event.

Reduction Relay 2020 Results

20/06/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Race Report by Joe Mace

The Reduction Relay was held on Saturday with the weather threatening and a great turnout of 44 runners. Upon registering at the clubrooms we formed into three groups… those that wanted to do one lap, two laps, or three laps of a 2km course. We were each then put into a team of three comprising one from each of the three groups. After making sure we had introduced ourselves to our fellow team members we had a nice jog up to the start line near the Cobham bridge to get everyone warmed up for the event.

The course was on the big grassy area beside Cobham drive and included some challenging traversing up and down the slope between the river path and the road, and a section running beside the river path. One part of the course even featured a dead possum to pass on the road verge!

It was a mass start with all runners sticking together in their teams of three. Early in the first lap the teams quickly found their position and worked together to maximise their speed. At the end of each lap, one member from each team dropped out. In the second lap things started to heat up as the pace of the different teams changed. During this lap the field was cleaned up by Boh Ritchie who was running solo doing one easy lap and one fast lap (with the fast lap time of 7:50!!!). At the start of the final lap Sunil (team mates with Layton and Shona) was leading the field with Marc (team mates with Mark and Lillie) in second place and Joe (teammates with Amy and Keri) in third. As the final lap progressed John-Paul (team mates with Amber and Cameron) started coming through the field steadily. Meanwhile, Matt Scott took off at a blistering pace on his last lap coming from near the back of the field. About halfway through the lap John-Paul passed Joe and Marc and went on to run down Sunil within the last few hundred meters to take the win (time 27:56). All teams finished within two and a half minutes of the winner showing how competitive this race was.

Congratulations to the team of Amber, Cameron, and John-Paul for the win.

Gilchrist Rose Bowl 2020 Results

13/06/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Report by Lucie Kibblewhite

Saturday saw the Gilchrist Rosebowl at the lake. An ever popular event we had 32 adults and 7 children racing.

We started with the children’s race first and Andrew volunteered to lead the kids out on the first lap. However, a misunderstanding and some incorrect course marking by Dave and his crew meant Andrew went off in the correct direction, which confused the kids a little as they had listened to Dave’s flawed instructions! It was all sorted out quickly and the race was on…. Boh Ritchie brought home the kid’s in an impressive 5:52.

Luckily Dave’s briefing for the adults run was actually correct, and everyone started without a hitch. As everyone came round past the start/finish line for the first time there wasn’t a lot of time separating groups, however, the second time of climbing the hill to the water tower put some space between people. Hayden Waddell won the adults race in 14:11, Charli Miller coming in second at 14:25 and Mike Harris rounding out the top three in 14:50. A special mention must go to Lily and Vaughan for the sprint finish.

Waiwhakareke Random Relay 2020 Results

06/06/2020/in All Results, Hawks R&XC Results 2020

Well the weather held out for the first official club event of the year.

Saturday saw 30 keen runners meet at the Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Reserve, for a 6 lap relay.

Teams were decided on the day, where each team had 3 runners, one would do 1 lap, one would do 2 laps, and the remaining runner doing 3 laps. Running order was decided by each team.

The gravel path meant not a lot of mud, but this made for good fast racing with the team of Amber, Chloe and Maia taking out the kids race, and the team of Wendy H, Garry W, and Chris Keith taking out the adults race.

Thank you to all runners, volunteers and supporters!
