Sunday’s PCCCT – Running Club race at Railton – the Anvers Chocolate ten-kilometre handicap was run in great weather conditions.
The course takes runners on back streets and through a bush track before heading up the tough 1.5-kilometre long Newbed Road hill and continuing to complete a circuit.
This was the final race before the season finale next week – the Wynyard to Burnie Feature race – and was penalty free until after that event. Consequently, it was expected to be a very close contest and it was outside the winner.
One of the frontmarkers, Sulphur Creek runner, JoHanna Robertson, a winner earlier in the season, showed how much she has continued to improve to record a comfortable victory.
Robertson has upped her training in recent weeks, increasing her distances as well as doing interval work, to enable her to comfortably complete the Club’s 17.6 Feature Race. She has even surprised herself with her improvement and on today’s effort, she should have no problem.
The consistent Josh Febey ran into second place recording fastest time (37:29) although he did not have much to spare over the next runners to finish, Steven Tammens, Alison Ridderhof (who was fastest female in 48:58) and Melinda Bramich.
Others to turn in good performances included Gerard Lowry, Troy Reader and David Murton. All of these runners will go into the big one next week with a degree of confidence.
The nominated time winners were Ruby Tate, Malcolm Nutting, Sienna Bramich and Hannah Ridderhof.
