Message from the President

Hi runners

Great to see so many at Bruno on Friday – 40 of us laughed our way through the film, and how civilized to see it in a cinema where you can drink beer! Fortunately that didn’t stop a big turnout on Saturday morning where we took our first run to Vaucluse. Just a reminder…Frontrunners doesn’t run on gay time – we set off at 8 or 9 sharp, so don’t be late!

Now I know last week I said I wouldn’t be at Bruno and then I turned up – but this week I’m definitely not there as I’m at the Country Estate. City to Surf training run/regular coast run at 8am or 5k at 9am. Have a good week and Ill see you on the 25th if not earlier

Take care, Ben

Message from the Secretary

Hi members,

C2S training run 8am this Saturday – you will know the course and those dam hills. And don’t forget the fabulous party (post run luncheon) at Barb’s on the day! (Aug 9) Lots to eat and drink – more news on that later…

Doing the Sutherland to Surf? 11K race to Wanda Surf club on Sunday 26 July… entries online… www.Sutherland2Surf.com.au We always get a great team to this one!!! But enter as an individual as team rego costs more – weird! $35 by 18 July.

Doing City to Surf? PLEASE register as a team – Sydney Frontrunners in the open mixed division.

Food taste testing should be happening in August – beef or lamb this time! More later..

Happy running………. Wayne Email: sydneyfrontrunners@gmail.com

Parramatta Duathlon

Sunday 12 July saw the start of a cool but not too cold cloudy morning for round 2 of the Hills District Duathlon. The race consists of a 3.2km run/19.2km bike/3.2km run around the very pretty Parramatta Park. A bit like Centennial Park but arguably nicer for cyclists as it has really fast downhill swoops and a nice meandering loop with a sting of a hill.

The rain managed to hold off until the very end of the race.

Results

Kate R 2nd age group – 14.22/36.28/15.11 – 1.06.01

Cathy V 3rd age group – 15.30/37.28/15.40 – 1.08.38

Jamaica Blue fun run – PINK……….. GALS….. and guys

To be run on 2 August 2009 in Centennial Park, Sydney, the event is a great warm up for Triathlon Pink or a great stand alone event for those that are not so keen on triathlon. Distances will be 2.5km, 5km and 10km (take your pick) and the course will be on a fun cross country course.

Oh and this time we have not forgotten about the boys….there will also be a 1km All Male Dash but there is a catch the men need to wear pink outfits to get on the start line! You can watch the men have some fun from the comfort of the Jamaica Blue on site coffee lounge.

Entries are now open and we look forward to seeing you all out there www.funrunpink.com.au
