Great weather attracted 82 starters to this evening’s Broulee run/walk. There were visitors from South Australia, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Griffith. We welcomed the Gannon family consisting of Bart, Steve, Miyaka, Kai and Angie. Also, were Henry and Molly Burke. There were the regular tourists, who come back each year – Kirrily, Lisa and Robert Turner also Gabby and Jo Golds.
In the 2 Kilometres personal best times were recorded by Hugo Hayward, Alba Van Der Meulen, Ziggy Henry, Caroline Ramsay, Jillian Edwards. In the 3.5 improvers were mother and daughter pair of Lisa and Emma Robbins. In the 5 kilometres improvers were Dan Lloyd-Jones, Kirrily Turner and Sam Salinger-Morris.
The feature of the evening was Dave Connaughton completing his 400th run with the group. Dave did his first run on 27 February 2008 and all his runs have been over the 5 kilometres distance. This is an amazing achievement as he rarely misses a run. As his participant rate is 82% this will put him in the iron man category and this may never be bettered.
