Vryheid Athletic Club – Georgie gets her green number
The race conditions were very difficult, reports our Grandmaster, Georgie Tasseron. She again did us proud by coming second in her age category. Congratulations on completing your seventh Arthur Creswell Ultramarathon, which has earned you your green number. We hope you will be running in that green number next year again.
ONS lede het die aflgelope paar naweke ver gereis om groot wedlope te hardloop.
Ons moedig wel ons lede aan om die omliggende dorpe se wedlope te ondersteun, maar dit is ook goed om soms aan groter wedlope deel te neem. Dit is ‘n ongelooflike ondervinding om tussen duisende mense te begin en te hardloop/stap. Dit het soms sy nadele ook, soos Georgie Tasseron ondervind het op die Denell 21km in Irene, op Saterdag 28 Maart. Dit het haar vyf minute gevat, saam met 2000 ander hardlopers, om net oor die begin streep te kom.
Die atlete wat hierdie afgelope Paasnaweek aan die Two Oceans Halfmaraton of Ultramaraton deelgeneem het, het dieselfde ondervinding gehad. Die 21km atlete begin saam met omtrent 16000 ander atlete en in die 56km staan omtrent 11000 atlete by die beginpunt. Baie geluk aan almal wat ons daar verteenwoordig het, julle maak ons voorwaar trots.
A little closer to home, the Arthur Creswell Marathon took place on Saturday, April 11, hosted by our neighbour club, Ladysmith. The 52km Ultramarathon starts in Bergville and ends in Ladysmith. The race conditions were very difficult, reports our Grandmaster, Georgie Tasseron. She again did us proud by coming second in her age category. Congratulations on completing your seventh Arthur Creswell Ultramarathon, which has earned you your green number. We hope you will be running in that green number next year again.
Hierdie Donderdag, 16 April, is dit weer tyd vir die Tekkie tydtoets met die tema ‘Superrugby.’ Trek dus jou gunsteling Superrugby span se trui aan.
