Feilding Moa members were to the fore in every race with over 50 taking part. Highlights included a 1-2 in the Womens half Marathon to Tina Solja and Claire Horner; Luke Scott running sub 1hr 10 for the half and taking 2nd spot; our girls filling the first 5 places in the 5km run and our 10km women runners taking out the first 4 places. There were plenty of smiles and PB’s all over the place.
MARATHON: 7th Mark Searle 3:03:48; Scott Whitley 3:29:19 (2nd M50); Wendy Cottrell-Teahan 4:19:57 (1st W50 – despite running an extra 3-4km due to a mis-direction); Pat Stichbury 4:33:16 (1st W60); Deb Arnold 5:00:45 (2nd W55)
NOTE: Big respect to Wendy who was actually leading the women’s race at the time an over-enthusiastic supporter though she had turned too early at about the 30km mark. So being an honest as athlete, she did the right thing and turned back to retrace her steps – which it turned out she had already done correctly anyway. Manawatu Striders are aware of the issue and have been really helpful in the background
