Springfield Fun Run

Well where do I start, it was just the perfect morning.  We had such a great Flakers team for this event and it made it all the more fun :)  It was a very hot morning and a tough course so I am amazed at the amount of PB's. 

I have probably missed someone but I have the following people down for a PB: Chris Stainer, Lisa Cheer, Wendy McGuigan, Tracey Crowhurst, Karen Robinson, Tyler Lynam, Alaistair Miering, Mandy Broome, Lauren Broome, Connor McGuigan, Holley Watts, Brendan Stainer, Samuel Robinson, Gayle Zivec!  That is just so fantastic. 

We even had a couple of podium winners with Chris Stainer and Nicole Fels both getting 2nd in their age groups and winning a 3 month gym membership!  

The kids 1k was fantastic also with all the kids running so well, Riley Blair absolutely blitzed it and was the 1st Flaker Boy and Ashlee McGuigan was the 1st Girl home :)  2nd boy was Lochie Fels and 2nd girl Jemma Crowhurst.    We then had a great time in the water park with me have the most spectacular stack hee hee..... I bet I feel that tomorrow :)  Absolutely can't wait until the next event and hopefully it will be bigger and better.  Keep checking for photos I will get them all uploaded as soon as I can.

Thank you team Flakers for such a wonderful day.

UPCOMING MAJOR FLAKER EVENT - SPRINGFIELD FUN RUN

I would love to get a big turn out for the Springfield Fun Run on SATURDAY 17th September, being so close to home and a smaller fun run it is a great opportunity for some of our beginner runners to try an event without all the crowds.  I think we should start getting our entries in ASAP as it says on the website that depending on numbers entries could close earlier than race day, so they may have a limit to entries.  There is a 5k and a 1k kids event, so something for the whole family!

We will have the Flakers tent for this event and pom poms and signs so it will be a fun family day!

After the race for anyone who would like to hang around we plan on having a picnic in the park.  So if you plan on staying just bring a plate of food to share, your own drinks and some chairs.  Also pack the togs for the kids as they have a wet play area and with any luck it will be a nice sunny day.

To enter go to:  http://www.gsrun4life.org.au/features.html  (there is an option for timed or non-timed, so if you want your results recorded choose the timed option).  Do not use the team entry as it is more expensive, we will just be our own little team in spirit!

Please let me know once you are entered so I can keep a list of who is competing.

Thanks Nic.

Sorry we missed Chris and Mark finishing! 

BRISBANE RUN FESTIVAL -7TH AUGUST 2011

Well another great FLAKERS event.   The weather was perfect almost too perfect it ended up being such a hot morning after all the cold weather we have had of late.  So everyone that competed had tough conditions.  Chris Stainer completed his first full marathon, well done Chris! He didn't say never again at the finish so I am sure there will be another marathon in the future for him.  Mark Lynam did a PB in the half marathon, great effort on a tough course.  Nicole Fels, Connor McGuigan, Lisa Cheer, Ian McGuigan and Wendy McGuigan all did the 10k and Ashlee did the 2k junior race.  Connor ended up coming 2nd in his age group and Ian came 1st in his age group.  Very happy to have some top three Flaker finishers.  Lisa got so close to cracking the 1 hour mark for the first time but I am sure it is only a matter of time.  Poor Wendy ended up with a stitch so didn't have the most pleasant of runs but she will be back better than ever for the next race.  All those PB's she keeps getting lately have worn her out LOL.   See results below:

Marathon            - Chris Stainer            - 3.37.36.
Half Marthon      - Mark Lynam            - 1.38.32

FLAKERS FUN MORNING :)

Hi All,

What a great morning!!  I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.  The only let down was I did not get to run, but there will be no stopping me for the next run.   We saw some great results this morning, I know Wendy did a 5k PB and I am guessing a few other did as well.  I have put the times above and it will be great to look back on these after the next time trial in 8 weeks.  It was really fun watching it from a timing perspective and seeing everybody pushing to the finish line.  I especially liked the sprint finish between Maria and Gayle!  It was very exciting.  Loved seeing all the Flakers singlets out and I am sure a lot of people were wondering what on earth was going on :) 

I just wanted to thank everyone for this morning.  A special mention to Tricia McGuigan for helping me with the timing and handing out the place cards. Also a big THANK YOU to Lance and Gayle for bringing along the coffee machine how posh were we :)  and not to forget Wendy for the flakes, Jo for the muffins and whoever else put food out on the table to share we sure had enough!!  Thanks also to Robert for being official bread butterer.  Thank you to Wayne for being packer/unpacker/setter upper/chef and every other job in between.   

Who would of thought 8 weeks ago when we started with just this small idea of doing a Sunday run that it would grow this big and still growing by the minute.  Loved having new members Carly and Alex  and Kelvin along and also Kerri-Anne who was out for their first run with the Flakers. 

Also there were a few people out that did the 3k and a few walkers/runners great to see these beginners out and getting stronger each week.  Would love to hear any feedback from the event or ideas for the club so please see free to email any thoughts to flakersrun@hotmail.com or put a comment on here.

5k TIME TRIAL

Well the weather forecast is looking great so our first 5k time trial is on for this Sunday at 7am (24th July).  Meet near the new pergola in the park at the lake on the cnr of Lakeside Cres and Grand Ave.  We will have the big Flakers banner up so you shouldn't be able to miss us.   The course is 2 laps of the lake with a bit extra, I have measured it and re-measured it so it should be quite accurate.  We will time the event and post the times on the blog and then in 8 weeks when the next time trial comes around we can check our improvements.  If you do have a stopwatch wear it still as being the first event it will help in any hiccups with the timing, though it should all run smoothly!  Afterwards we are having a sausage sizzle so a great way to get to know some of the members in the group.  It is $2 for the sausage sizzle just to cover catering costs.  That will get you a sausage on bread, a popper, tea or coffee and a few little bits and pieces :)   Also you may want to throw a camping chair in the back of your car for sitting in the park afterwards in comfort!  Really look forward to seeing a lot of Flakers out on Sunday.
