Race Report - RWFL Mopani Christmas Charity Run

Hi-ho-hi-ho it was off to the Botanical Gardens on Sat 23 Nov to support the RWFL XMAS CHARITY RUN. It was great to see many fellow club members supporting this fun run. PB’s were not on the agenda & for some of us it was seeing how slow we could run for a change.

Our “semi-pro” triathlete Euan Ormiston graced us with his presence as he used his 2013 ASA number for the first time this year, so he was really getting his money’s worth with this run. Heading our “bus” were Steve & myself to keep Euan on a comfortable pace and guiding Mark Gailbraith as he blew a hammi a couple times along the way. But we stuck together throughout this “gruelling” 8.7km run hahaha.

The most entertaining part of the run was running over the suspension bridge (even though we spotted a sign saying NO RUNNING !!!) As more runners run on the bridge it heaves & sways beneath you, so much so that you feel like its going to throw you over, Adriaan had a great time trying to see Elsa flung overboard. Luckily the bridge held strong and all runners got over safely & with lots of laughter.

What a great way to end the running season.

Cheers

Paul
