Colleen ran a 2:03 half with a couple of new records along the way- a 27 min 5k and a 55 min 10k. A sore foot and feeling a little unwell slowed her pace in the last 6k's but she was still happy with her efforts.
The event was well organised, the course is scenic and a little "hilly" in places, the events race singlets were a great shape and fit - hence Coach Colleen wearing it on race day. (The singlets were given when you picked up the race packs.)
Staying at the Royal on the Park was so convenient before and after the race. I'd highly recommend this event and booking into the Royal on the Park! We had a late check out so there was no rushing and plenty of nearby cafe's for brunch afterwards!
The remaining Gunn family results were - Len did the Marathon in 3:32 - taking a tumble at 36k was his only stop. Arrived at the finish line with a bleeding knee and feeling sore all over! So he'll be sore tomorrow for all the wrong reasons. He still finished with his usual cheery attitude!
Reece ran 1:50 in the half and Jarred ran 1:28 so placed third in his age group - Wohoo! Proud Mum!
