Saturday 18th June we held the 2022 version of the always popular Lake D Relay – and while the weather looked promising in the morning, the rain set in during setup, which made for a pretty damp race…(who doesn’t love splashing around in puddles though right?)
Despite the rain we had good numbers turn out to race – 27 runners making 9 teams of 3. Some good hard running, cheered on by a good group of keen supporters…
The winning team of Paul Reynolds, Thea Mace, and Peter Moorfield completed their 3 laps (9kms) in 38:38 – congratulations! There was only around 4:20 separating the winning team and the last team – so all
in all pretty even…
And the fastest lap of the day went to…(a little bit of confusion on the day but we can now reveal)…Rich Ellison with a 10:51…
We also ran a sausage sizzle as usual – but this time we used it as a fundraiser for Kerry Suter and Ali – and we had some very generous people enjoying a sausage – and we managed to raise $190 for Kerry and Ali’s Givealittle page! Awesome work team – very much appreciated!
Special mention to a few runners on the day who raced parkrun in the morning, then made their way out to a rainy Lake Kainui for the relay, and also a few more who had an extra long warmup before the race – including Kovo and Ross who ran there from Kovo’s place I understand! And also Paul Ewart who ran there, raced his lap (at a pretty good pace too) and then ran home the long way – for a total of around 40km for the day – nice effort by all!
