Saturday Parkrun
Good to see some BRSers out for a casual Parkrun last Saturday before Twilight on Sunday.

AND - our beginners were out in force for their first 5km RUN!!! all finished with big smiles! the first of many, well done to all! 
Sunday Twilight

Well last Sunday didn't really go according to anyone's plan!!
With a traffic jam on Coronation Drive, hot steamy still weather, followed by a crazy windy storm, not exactly perfect racing conditions.

Nevertheless, a few BRSers got to finish, a few mentions:  a sub 40min finish for Matty W in the 10km, a 11min PB by Darlene in the 10km and a 1.25hr 1/2 marathon by Andy Douglas, along with Darrel they were the very few that actually got to finish the whole half marathon.

Congratulations to all who participated and 'weathered the storm'!!!
