Twilight 5k Series - Race 4, Queen's Wharf Tuesday, 18 January 2011
The predicted storm force winds and heavy rain fortunately didn't eventuate
for the 23rd Lifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k. However, there was a late
course change due to the Round the World yachts parking up next to the
usual start / finish line and Bollywood film crews taking over the area by
Frank Kitts Park and the Lagoon. Almost 100 competitors made the most of
the better than expected race conditions and adapted well to the revised
course.
Leading everyone home was Jon Justice in his first appearance in the 5k
series with a time of 16min 57sec, holding out Michael Beaumont and Andrew
Wharton. Gabby O'Rourke had a good win in the women's race with a time of
17min 50sec. Florence Reynolds and Sarah Paterson finished second and
third. Tim Dutton (28.28) recorded another good win in the men's walk,
with Terri Grimmett (32.47) first again in the women's walk.
