It was like a scene from a blockbuster movie. The faithful few gathered in Morrinsville under a moody mid-May sky. We were back and to be honest, we looked good. The Star of the show was definitely John, as he powered his way to a Personnel Best. Strangely, he attributed his success to his dietary masterstroke of packing his intestines with baking soda!
Those who were lucky enough to witness his explosive burst down the home straight to the finish line, said it was as if a fuse had been lit inside him.
John’s Co-Star was Ambre, who looked every inch a winner as she picked up the pace in the last 2K. Mornay looked strong in his comeback run. Special guest star Carla, put in a graceful performance to complete her first 5K, as Veronica directed proceedings, and Michele stayed firmly behind the camera.
The day felt like an absolute triumph as we all completed the course and even had enough energy to give thanks and also give the local cafe some business. No doubt we will be back for an encore soon.
