Lifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k Series – 5 March 2013

115 runners and walkers fronted for the Waterfront 5k Series on 5 March. Weather conditions were very good (long may it continue!) – fine and warm. Although a bumper crowd of pedestrians plus a few dragon boaters coming out of the water made for a bit a zigzagging at times. Note that the second participation competition is underway, sponsored by Icebreaker. A draw for everyone who takes part in at least 3 of the 6 races from 26 Feb to 2 Apr will be made on 2 April so keep turning up!

Leading everyone home was top triathlete Martin van Barneveld in a time of 15min 32sec. Nicole Mitchell made her series debut a winning one, recording an excellent time of 18min 17sec. Fraser Samson (31min 51sec) was the fastest walker.

A big thanks to the team from Wellington Scottish Athletics Club’s Masters Men section for the excellent officiating.
