Waterfront 5k

2011-2012 Lifestyle Sports 5k Series - Race 34

Tuesday, 3 April 2012

After the 34 races, the 2011/12 Lifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k series concluded in fine style on 3 April 2012. Weather conditions were good for racing for the 130 competitors, with the rain holding off.

Many fast times were recorded, particular from Hamish Carson who recorded the series' first sub 15min time. Hamish, the 2010 and 2011 NZ 1500m champion ran an outstanding 14min 54sec, just 10sec outside his course record. Hamish leaves this weekend for training and racing in the US with Nick Willis, then onto Europe and hopefully a qualifying time for the Olympics. Best wishes Hamish! Levente Timar recorded his best time of the series with second place in 15.21. Gabrielle O'Rourke won the women's race in 17.52, 50sec in front of Emily Solsberg. Jon Roskvist (30.13) and Leeane Palmer (36.04) were the leading walkers. And special mention to Sue Cuthbertson. Sue ran in EVERY one of the 34 races in the series (including the day in the snow last August). A remarkable effort.

Winner of the Garmin GPS watch spot prize draw was Chris Nelson. Congratulations Chris! Enjoy your new toy. Please support our great sponsors: Lifestyle Sports for the weekly gift voucher, Chicago Sports for the free drink afterwards and bar tabs as spot prizes and Habit Gym for the special spot prizes - free massages.
