You could be forgiven for anticipating the weather today
would be crap the day after the Highlanders soundly caned the Hurricanes at
Westpac Stadium. But no it was a great day with plenty of sunshine and relatively
calm. Dan Clendon (who knows a thing or two about this event) thought conditions were
the best they have ever been.
I tried to find a preview of the race just to confirm my own
quick check of the entry list to identify favourites, but all I could find was
a story about some people who would compete in the marathon dressed as a horse.
Gosh, I hope they made it to the finish
because I wasn’t hanging around to see if they did.
Because Wellington Scottish have omitted to do so this is a shout-out to Robert Prendergast who was the first Scottish member home in the full marathon clocking 2.47.58 (PB) to pick up 7th place (and as I figure it the silver medal in the Wellington Marathon Championship).
Training partner and Scottish member Ben Twyman ran a leisurely 3.15.15 for 36th place - basically having a rest after the Christchurch marathon last month where he ran. 2.44.44 for 12th.
And dare I mention Jason Waite and his 2.57.25.....
In the 5k race another Scottish member Donal Hanratty was first across the line in 17.58.
