Our second 3K time trial went off a lot more smoothly last night, with three heats between 6 and 7 pm, and 65 finishers between 9 and 20 minutes. Here are the results:
Quite a few runners ran faster than six weeks ago, which is after all the point of our training! Congrats to these Victors, who really knocked it out of the park:
- Matthew Evans: 13:47 / 12:53 — a 54-second improvement
- Elizabeth Stewart: 12:59 / 12:30 — a 29-second improvement
- Cassandra McCaig: 11:56 / 11:27 — a 29-second improvement
- Christine Laframboise: 13:39 / 13:14 — a 25-second improvement
- Stacy McMillan: 14:20 / 13:56 — a 24-second improvement
- Aaron Bassett: 11:10 / 10:50 — a 20-second improvement
Five other special mentions:
- Jasper Tey: he ran 10:45 last time, and again 10:45 last night. That’s consistency!
- Jill Jaworski (12:02) and Jen Schneider (12:35): these two first-timers to our time trial posted great results
- John Parrot: he doesn’t train with us regularly, but ran the 3K last night in 9:13, a blazing fast time, possibly the fastest ever at a Victors time trial
- John Clarke: this Orangeville resident ran ALL THREE heats last night, in 11:27, 11:59 and (we didn’t record his last one). John is a top-ranked Canadian master, and at 65 still has amazing acceleration on his last lap – 85 seconds last night after running a 93-second average time up until then. We’re glad to have him training with us periodically.
Thanks to all the volunteers last night, who made sure the whole event ran smoothly and accurately:
