Near record rain and the accompanying wind did not dampen the enthusiastic 21 athletes from participating in this evening’s Broulee Run.  History has shown that no matter how bad the conditions people will come and as usual they perform with distinction.

In the 3.5 kilometres Jason Domeny recorded his third personal best time in as many starts over this distance.  Also, Angus Murphy showed that he is an excellent mud runner with an improvement of 43 seconds.

In the 5 kilometres Bede Webster recorded a personal best time.  His secret is to run bare footed and those who purchase the most expensive running shoes may consider this as an alternative in their quest for excellence.  Greg Whipp ran an outstanding time of 21.02 in the 5 kilometres to improve by 147 seconds.  Deb Connaughton ran an impressive time of 25.49, which is only 28 second off her best time over this distance set in 2008.

The warmer spring weather tested the condition of the 49 starters in this evening’s Broulee Run/Walk.  We welcomed Archie Gilligan to his first run.  His older brothers Vaughn and Harrison are among the elite of the group and young Archie has many years to better their times.

In the 2 kilometres personal best times were recorded by Alba Van Der Meulen and Regina Knobel.  In the 3.5 kilometres the improvers were Angus Murphy, Jason Domeny and Bruce Dickinson.  In the 5 kilometres Garren Carnall was very impressive with a 3 minute and 13 seconds improvement.  His wife Yma was the first women home in the 5 kilometres with a time of 27.46.

The rain held off and the athletes came out to play.  47 people ran and walked the 3 courses on offer at the Broulee Run/walk.  We welcomed Deanne Brennan from Canberra for her first run with the group.  Also, Aiden O’Leary and the Murphy boys Angus and Justin made their first appearance.

In the 2 kilometres personal best times were recorded by Audrey and Regina Knobel, Nick and Ben Hall and Emily Dickinson.  In the 3.5 kilometres the improvers were Matt Johnsen and Jacquellyn O’Leary.  In the 5 kilometres the stars were Isabelle Starmer and Greg Whipp.

This evening Matt Johnsen and Gerard Van Weerdenburg were awarded their 30-run shirts.  For both it has been a long journey for both men.  Matt’s first run with the group was back in 2012. He then travelled to America on an athletic scholarship where he performed with distinction. Since returning to the district he has been active in the promotion and coaching of athletics.  Gerard also had his first run in 2012 but injury, work and horses hindered his appearances.  He is now back with a vengeance and is about the compete in a triathlon.

The Melbourne Cup had the rain so it was only fitting that the Broulee Runners had similar conditions.  Being of a lesser standard of race the rain continued before and during the run.

It is interesting that the only ones to appear are the thoroughbreds, who all tackled the 5 kilometres.  They ran through the wind, mud and ankle-deep water.

The star of the event was Lauren Evans, who improved her personal best by 52 seconds.  This is an outstanding performance under such adverse conditions.

Thanks to Nev Madden, Richard Fisher and David McCann for standing around in the rain to help record the times for the runners.
