Tonight, was run number 764 and number 10 on course B.  We had clear skies and cold air but most importantly no rain.  We had 21 actual starters and 5 virtual entries.  We welcomed Mark and Gabriel Kennedy visiting from Melbourne.  They have had 19 runs each on Course A and they welcomed the new flat course.

 

Personal Best times were recorded in the 2-kilometres by Samson Kennedy (virtual) and Carissa and Steve Morgan.  In the 3-Kilometres PBs were recorded by Tony Ireson, Jenny Taylor, Julie Amphlett and David McCann.

 

The star of the night was Mia Atkin, who recorded her 30^th run.  The family are great supporters of the run with Mother Nicole, Dad Mike and champion sister Keira all regulars.

One day on from the shortest day produced excellent form for this evening’s run with 13 Personal Best times.  Also, we welcomed Sue and Jacub Dreher from Canberra to their first run.  Last Wednesday we welcomed Harper and Scotty Bourke and they though it was so good that they came back this evening.  We had 19 actual runners and 9 virtual runners.

 

Personal best times were recorded in the 2 Kilometres by Mia, Mike and Keira Atkin, Harper and Scotty Bourke, Emily Tugwell, Ashlee Beby, Carissa and Steve Morgan and Richard Fisher.  In the 3 Kilometres PBs were recorded by Julie Amphlett and David McCann.  In the 4 Kilometres Stephen Seidel improved his time.

 

In last Wednesday’s run, there were some outstanding times recorded in the 4 kilometres.  Matt Johnsen, an outstanding Australian athlete, now living in Broulee, set the mark in the 4 kilometres with a time of 13.02, which is 3.15-kilometre pace.  Matt holds the record for the original 5-kilometre course.  On the same night, outstanding Canberra Champion Veteran athlete Bruce Graham recorded an excellent time of 13.10 for the 4 kilometres.  

 

It was great to see Allan Andrews visiting from North Queensland.  He was a regular local Broulee Runner with 40 runs to his credit.

This evening we had 15 actual runners brave the cold weather to test themselves over the 3 distances.  Emerson Carver improved in the 2-kilometres.  Janelle Morgan and Julie Amphlett ran Personal Best time in the 3 Kilometres.  We were pleased to have Carissa Morgan and her dad Steve back after a long absence.

 

Keira Atkin competed in the NSW State Cross Country championships in Sydney and came 14^th out of 57 competitors.  Her impressive time of 13.40 would have smashed her 3-kilometres time at Broulee and would have set the record for the fastest female over this distance.

 

Lily McIntosh will represent Moruya High School at the Regional Cross Country championships at Cambewarra (Nowra) on Friday.  She is an impressive athlete and should do her school proud. 

 

Karen Harding Smith ran the Wollongong Running Festival in the 10 Kilometres in a time of 51.53 knocking 3 minutes off her 10-kilometre PB.  She also came 7^th in her age group.

Overcast and cold winds greeted the 19 actual starters in this evening’s run.  The only consolation was that it was not raining.  We are still taking virtual times. If you feel that you cannot make the start at Broulee or still want to be involved from near and far, we welcome your results.  We want all Broulee Runners past and present to feel part of the family.  The classic example of this is Simon Wall, who has 106 runs to his credit.  Simon lives in Canberra and a good percentage of his runs are at home.  Because of Bush Fires and Covid he is yet to receive his 30-run shirt.

 

Keira Atkin cut 21 second from her personal best time in the 2-kilometres and she shows plenty of potential.  She qualified second in the district Championships and is now going to Sydney for the State Championships.  There were strong performances from Beau and Eli Melgaard with PBs in the 2-kilometres.  Others to improve were Emily Tugwell and Janelle Morgan in the 3-kilometres.  Erin Drewsen, fresh from her impressive performance in the Canberra State Championship improved by over 3 minutes in the 4 kilometres.  Others to improve over the 4-kilometres were Stephen Seidel and Jenny Taylor
