Loftus Poultry Run - 31st January 2010 - Loftus
Well there's not much to write about in the way of Triathlons lately so many of our members have taken to competing in runs to pass the hours away. The Poultry run eventually took place last Sunday, originally delayed due to the ice. The weather was cold and there was still lots of ice!. The run is described as having 3 challenging accents, it was hard to tell where one finished and one began, this was a very tough course, up hill was hard down hill was dangerous, I saw some moves Torvill and Dean would have been proud of. Thankfully all of our members completed with out incident and even got some poultry prizes to take home. Brian Roberts was 2nd Male Vet 50 in 51:29, Paul McGough did 53:58, Martin Shackelton did 59:03, Angel did 59:46, Diane Jobson did 01:01:18, Kath Blakey finished in 01:01:43 winning her age group, Amanda Mcleod did 01:06:22, Kay Stokes finished in 01:06:4, Joe Foley did 01:06:46 and finally Carol Murray did 01:08:20. Kath and Diane also won a team prize. Great run and if I forget how much it hurt I might even enter again next year. Amanda. added 02-02-10
