Crater Rim Trail Run
Although the day wasn't wet it was bitterly cold, especially standing at the top of Rapaki marshalling runners and trying to point them in the right direction.
Anyway, we had Rebecca McLean, Natasha Douglas, Mel Hines, Mark Hassall, Karly Ryder and Wendy Fox-Turnbull competing in this event. While Natasha and Karly both ran the 20km version and finished well up the field the others all took on the 30km distance. Congratulations to Rebecca for winning the womens section in just a tick over 3hrs, good effort.

SW REPORT
Right from the start the team was in the leading bunch, both from the 8.30am start and the women's teams from that time. Natasha Douglas ran a really good leg to be 3rd woman finished in a time of 39.59, next up was a flu ridden Jacq Manson who put in a valiant effort but struggled with illness to finish off strongly before handing over to Olivia Moon, Gloria White and then Jacinda Swain who between them brought the team back up to 2nd women's team by the end of lap 5. Karly Ryder managed to hold this position up the hill but the charging University B and the NC Masters women teams made up ground to close in then on the final two laps they were too strong form Mikayla Dyer lap 7 and Claire Van Polanen on the final leg.
The team were 4th in National Comp and 2nd in Local Womens D Grade Comp.
Gloria White and Jacinda Swain were 5th fastest Sw on their laps with Natasha 6th. The overall team time was 5.44.52.
