WaiBOP Road Champs 2015 Results
Report By Don Willoughby
Waikato Bay Of Plenty Road Champs were held at Tauriko Industrial Estate Tauranga on Sunday.
Being ruthlessly honest, I was disappointed at the turn out. ‘Why Sunday?’ was the cry from many athletes. ‘Sunday is for a long run or a distance race that starts in the morning.’ It was an excellent road surface to run on and numerous Hawks ran very well indeed.
I was amused by one gun start when three races took off from three different start points. Flags were dropped as the gun went at the 6km start and the 8km and 10km fields sprang into action at the drop of a flag as well. With 3 races on the go there was plenty to watch and encourage at that stage.
