BBQ Stakes Xmas Relays...

the BBQ Stakes Xmas Relays started early at 5:20pm as they extended the goal time to 60:00 to cater for everyone...

I was lead runner for the Elf Combo of E1 & E2, starting off 20:00 with Andrew Walker...my goal was 16:30 and I ended up running 16:36...

E2's aim was 23:30 but I must have distracted her by keeping her company (although she was the one setting the pace with her walk/run strategy) as she ran 22:15 for finish with a net 38:51 which was 58:51 on the clock...

start temp/humidity: 31.5/21% (apparent temp 30.0)
start time: 5:40pm
total distance: 6.00
total time: 38:51
avg pace: 6:29<

in fact 16 out of the 21 teams ran quicker than 60:00 with the winning team finishing in 59:51, 2nd 59:47 and 3rd 59:46...the Elf Combo finished 12th...

the BBQ Stakes point score was won by Andrew Blyton with Jeremy Ackland 2nd and Tony Wynd 3rd (according to the website, I'm pretty sure Kerrie read Tony and Jeremy out in reverse order)...

there were 50 runs in total and Gary Bowen was the only one to run all of them, scoring points in 47 of them...

The top 10 (from the website and assuming all runs count) was:

  • 2111 Andrew Blyton 2 wins from 45 runs
  • 1909 Jeremy Ackland 2 wins from 47 runs
  • 1872 Tony Wynd 1 win from 42 runs (scored points from 41)
  • 1818 Bruce Wight 44 runs
  • 1673 Eddie Adams 43 runs
  • 1645 Gary Bowen 50 runs (scored points from 47)
  • 1564 Steven Murphy 4 wins from 33 runs (scored points from 26)
  • 1522 Bronwyn Calver 47 runs (scored points from 45)
  • 1449 Craig Wurtz 1 win from 43 runs
  • 1446 Ewen Thompson 48 runs (scored points from 38)
