Athletics East XC Run - Centennial Park, June 14, 2008

A hardy group of runners braved icy conditions on Saturday June 14 to support the Athletics East 2 & 4km XC Run. At 10 degrees celsius with a wind chill factor of about minus 2, the runners circumnavigated the mud over one or two laps of a hybrid road / cross country course.

The run saw a welcome return for Gillian Sohun who has been battling through the summer with an uncooperative calf. We also saw a special guest appearance from Ken Wilson who has been running with AEFRC.

There were some excellent performances from AE regulars including Sue, Barbara, the Finger, Big Dave, Rona, Deirdre, Rosemary, Peter M., Chamkaur, the Jackster, Jack, Wayne and Oskar.

Special thanks to organisers / timekeepers Jim, Peter G. and Yvonne and cinematographer Anne.

Thanks must go to the club for the free breakfast after the event. The egg and bacon sandwiches were particularly delicious.
