October 29 update

A few results are trickling in and Track season has started . Upcoming events (see below )
The Frontrunner series of three 5 km races on Wed nights struck bad weather on the final two dates . Race 2 was cancelled , but here are results from our runners in Race 3 (times are slow so rain and wind must have been a factor ):
Robyn -22.56
Richie M-19.04
James R-19.41
Nick - no time recorded .

I went to watch Race 3 but got crunched by a bus .They are buying a new front wheel .

The new Bell Hill Challenge was held on Saturday 29 th . There were about 300 runners and walkers . Only Sue Johnson from CHA was there , but she managed to get 6 th place in her grade in 2 hours 58.
Perhaps Sue can mail me an account of the new course if she is reading this  : )
There was an Anna McNab in the walking section but I'm not sure if it was CHCH Avon Anna .

Track season has been going for three weeks already and the first two sessions were held on our own Burnside track .QE 2 is unavailable indefinitely and the designated replacement (Rawhiti Domain ) isn't ready yet.Timaru will be hosting a lot more sessions, as it has the only synthetic track in the Canterbury region (?)
