Cochranes Road 5km 10/12/2015

Traralgon Harriers Race Report 10.12.15

Ideal conditions for a relaxing summer run in the bush off Cochrane’s Road last week, sun shining with a warm evening to top it off. As usual the run starts with a daunting hill within the first 1 km but once you start climbing it is over before you know it. The track then meanders through pine plantation and remnant bush looping back to near where the run started.

It was also encouraging to see a few new faces with Nic and Pasquale Pugliese. Nic ran for the first time last week and this week both father and son ran great times (27.56 and 32.37) and we hope to see them back through the summer series. There were also a couple of walkers this week, Ian Heafield and Bob Duljas, we hope to see them back running with us soon.

First female runner home on handicap was Kayla Gallert in 24.44 followed by Anna Cardillo, 27.53 and Kathryn Preston in 23.10, with the male runners led by Trevor Nelson in 22.44, Tyler Morley in 20.17 and Guri Soni third in a time of 31.00.

Riley Evans, Tyler Morley and Charlie Twomey were fastest males home with times of 19.31, 20.17 and 21.08, respectively. Fastest ladies home were Molly Irvine in 22.34, Kathryn Preston in 23.10 and Karen Graham in 23.31.

Next week’s 6km run is our Xmas Run starting at the clubrooms on Douglas Parade, 5.50 pm. Traralgon Harriers welcomes runners of all abilities, for details about club activities see our website www.traralgonharriers.org.au
