The Pioneer 8km was held today... the first road race of the season, and the first in the Island road running series. It also happened to be the 30th anniversary for the race and some of the province and nation's top runners were in attendance. I think the top 5 speaks volumes of the quality of the field: 1. Richard Mosley (23:35). 2: Jon Brown (23:38). 3: Steve Osaduik (24:17). 4: Ryan McKenzie (24:27). 5: Scott Simpson (24:34).
Our athletes did well. Since many of them (with the exception of Wayne, Lisa, Myke, and Kate) are triathletes, they definitely showed those runners how its done :) A total of 14 PT Performance Training athletes raced. Their results are as followed (alphabetical order):
Bate Suzanne: Was sick of being sick and decided that bronchitis and the flu are no match to her... and I agree :) (1:02).
Brown Kate: Over 1 minute PB from last year's race - 36:21 (36:07 according the her watch, as results are by gun time not chip time). Another great race on the road to Boston 2009!
Comisso Amber: Is getting faster and faster with a time of 40:19
Diamond David: A cyclist recently turned runner - 36:35
Enright Wayne: Yet another PB for Wayne, with a time of 37:17.
Everett Kim: right on Dave's feet with a time of 36:38.
Lisa Feeney: Took Martin's place and ran 45:03. Well done Lisa!
Harris Mark: Has been MIA recently, but finally resurfaced today to run 52:35.
LaBelle Myke: I'm pretty sure this ultra runner was hoping the race will change all of a sudden from 8km to 80km! 28th overall and 4th in the 20-24AG at a time of 27:23.
MacMillan Matt: A bit of a tough weekend... bike testing yesterday, race today... good work! Time was 35:45
O'Meara Adam: 18th overall and 6th in the 25-29AG with a time of 26:22. Nice one!
Rae Kamal: Is new to Victoria and to our team. He crossed the line at 32:13, which is a great start to the season.
Ritchie Mark: has been running well this season, and today was no exception, with a time of 29:16.
Weaver John: 33:58. Great race after a tough week of training :)
A great day for everyone!
Till next time,
Noa
