SPARTAN
By Kate Dainton
I had been training for SPARTAN Bright whenever I could fit in.. playground pull ups, lunch time pump, tower climbs and tv watching push ups! Hubby & I set off for a 14km obstacle challenge. We walked through creeks, climbed,crawled, jumped and ran through stunning trails. We finished with a time of 3.28mins. I came 35th female in my age group for our section. Not bad for over 2,000 contestants!
Would i recommend.. 100% Life is too short to wonder if you can do it. The recover at Wandi pub was well worth it.
Steve Hicks
Steve Hicks also went down to Melbourne the other week to try to get back some form. His last 2 Half marathons were Melbourne (2016) 2:04:39 and Wnagartta (2017) 2:05:38.
His 2017 result is as follows.
Melbourne Half Marathon.
2:12:40
I noticed that last week’s newsletter was low on clicks compared to the average. If you didn’t get to read about those who ran in Melbourne Half Marathon here is the link to the newsletter
Training
It’s great to see about 40 SRC members at our training sessions.
Normal training sessions are Tuesday 5:45 pm Lake Victoria & Thursday 5:45 pm Princess Park.
Both these sessions are coached by Chris Armstrong.
Presentation Night
Time is running out and seats are selling fast. Please RSVP to the Shepparton Runners Club Presentation night. See attached flyer for details.
Activities In The Park
The Shepparton Runners Club will be involved in Activities In The Park throughout November. The first one starts Melbourne cup day.
November 7 at 8 am Victoria Park Lake.
I am sorry, but I was really excited when I saw this NEW running festival with an event to suit everyone. As an occasional visitor to the area, this event is set to be awesome.
One month post Wangaratta marathon and fun runs it is also well timed. You could use Wangaratta as a stepping stone to a longer run in Albury or maybe run 2 halfs or 2 10km two months apart.
And what a perfect option for a road trip, with carpooling, or a bus.
Like I said AWESOME.
