Twilight Wrap-Up

The Twilight Run Wrap UP

A big congratulations to everybody who took part in the Twilight events last Sunday. We won the 'biggest' team award with 25 BRSers competing in the 21km, 10km, 3km, 1km events, beating our closest rival by 8 runners! Well done and a sensational kick off to the running season.

Here is a wrap up of the results:

1/2 Marathon
6 BRSers took part in the 21km event and for 4 of them it was their first ever 1/2 Marathon. Darrell hit his goal time coming in at 1hr36mins, great stuff. Matt Shepherd competing in his first 21km, after a PB for the first 10km, he finished strongly recording a 1hr 42mins time. According to the official results, this gave him 6th place in the 18-29 FEMALE category (what the?) well done Matt.
Melissa competing in her first distance run of the season finished well. Peter, Andrew and Michael all finished their first 1/2 marathon in style. A sign of things to come!

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS again to all who participated and a BIG THANK-YOU to the family members who were there in support!

Bill's New Adventure
On Monday night we had a dinner to say farewell and good luck to Bill, one of our favourite BRSers. He has improved out of sight over the last 5months and we hope he continues smashing out the KMs in steamy North QLD. Best of luck to Bill and his family.

The Twilight run was the kick event for the Running Season, with lots more to come. Matt and I will be working on the calendar of events and the new 12 week program over the weekend. So keep an eye on the blog and calendar link for more information.
