There was a special occasion in this evening’s Broulee run/walk as we celebrated Deb Connaughton’s 300th run. Most Wednesday’s she does her run solo before the start as she is the starter and time keeper. Because of the special occasion she started with the pack. Deb first run was on 27 February 2008 and she was joined by husband Dave and daughter Paige and Son Josh. Between them they have competed in 1024 of the events. This will be a record that will be difficult to better by another family. As well as starter Deb is the media person and she is instrumental in attracting many people to the event.
Something must have been good in the air over the Mossy Point Headland as of the 60 starters in the run/walk there were 12 personal best times and 9 new starters.
We had Mark Prentice from England and Mick Carr from Melbourne have their first run.
In the 2 kilometres personal best times were recorded by Lachlan, Willow and Brenton Cole, David West, Robyn Edenborough and Evie Theodore. In the 3.5 kilometres the improvers were Garran Carnall, Justin Murphy and Ross Wilson. In the 5 kilometres the stand out were Louise Cox and Angus Murphy.
Broulee Runners competed with distinction as the Husky Triathlon last weekend. The stars were Dan Lloyd-Jones, Adrian Connor, Gerard Van Weerdenburg, Julie De Ernsted, Anthony Miles and Monty Lloyd-Jones.
Special mention goes to Lauren Evans, who finished second in the Jindabyne half marathon last weekend.
See you next week at 5pm.
