Front Runner Bunbury Trip a Success!

It was an awesome weekend with the "Front Runner" crew in Bunbury this weekend.
The annual "Surf to Surf"- which had a record 700 entries this year - was the excuse for the get away and there were some great results from the squad. The initial race story is here http://southwest.thewest.com.au/regionals.aspx?MenuID=278&ContentID=103530
The girls in the 10k all timed between 53 and 62 minutes for a windy and hot 10k along the Bunbury coast, while in the 5k Kathy Garnett was close to her PB, Mark Cutts lopped 20 seconds of his best and Paul Mackay took $20 off my hands for running 15.59 and taking the win. I had bet him before the race that he couldn't break 16 minutes and he managed to prove me wrong!
I personally have to thank Chris Neaves from Neavesy Sports http://www.neavesysports.com.au/ for his support in racing, Gerald O'Sullivan from Bunbury Tri Club and Balinga Pasco for cooking everyone's sausages while the presentations were on!
Hopefully we will be back with a bigger "Front Runner" group for the 2009 Bunbury Surf to Surf and see if we can help them get over the magical 1000 mark next year.

Running Regards
