Round 8 - 6th August 2016 - Anglesea Surf Coast Ekiden Relay

Anglesea Surf Coast Ekiden Relay

Ideal conditions on the day with no wind and some sunny breaks. What a beautiful scenic course which is over some rough terrain near Angelsea beach finishing off on the top of a hill overlooking the beach and then back to the finish line at the Angelsea Caravan Park. Our team completed this relay over a distance of 31.7 km however each leg was extended by 300m due to a track diversion because a section of the course was too dangerous.

James Lynch ran the 10.1km leg with an excellent time of 45.33 which was 7 minutes faster than last year. Travis McIntosh also had an excellent result with a time of 45.26 for his 9.1km leg. Chris Struve ran well for is 8.2km section with a time of 46.01, and John David who unfortunately had a fall half way through his run finished off the relay with a time of 31.09 for the 5.5km leg. Our team did a great job finishing 6th out of 10 teams. Well done to everyone who competed on the day, and also for the supporters (some with 4 legs) who were cheering on our athletes to the finish line.
