Irene 10km Open Race Walking Grand Prix

A resounding success.

We had a fantastic and enthusiastic turnout on a cool and chilly morning although the chill
did not affect the enthusiasm of the helpers and the anticipation was electric. The masters
started at eight o’clock and turned out a new RSA Record for Kevin Philips (CGA) in the first
event on our new course! Unfortunately not an IAC or at least an AGN athlete but I promise
we are hard at work on that!!!

The individual and personal competition was intense and athletes chased each other with gusto but in all, good sportsmanship and camaraderie prevailed on the day.

The spirit of the day was impressive and long after the last bell tolled, debriefs and good
hearted banter were heard. The organiser had to chase the walkers and spectators home.......!

The day was a resounding success.

Running Tip of the Month

Top Tips For Summer Running
  1. LONGER DAYS. Take advantage of long summer days and try where possible to run during the cooler parts of the day - usually morning or evening. 
  2. HYDRATE. Hot Summer days mean upping your fluid intake. Isotonic sports drinks beat water because the contain electrolytes which increase your water-absorption rate and replace the electrolytes you loose through sweat.
  3. TAKE COVER.  Mix up your terrain on particularly sunny das, find shady routes in parks.  Off road is a great strength work out and good for joints and bones.
  4. BE FLEXIBLE.  Try to avoid running long or high intensity sessions on really hot days and don't be afraid to be flexible and re-arrange your schedule accordingly.
  5. APPLY SUNSCREEN.  A long run could mean you're in the sunshine for more than an hour.  Protect your skin by using water-resistant sunscreen.  You don't want to fall victim to the dodgy t-shirt or sock tan.
  6. ENJOY YOURSELF.  Make the most of the warmer months and enjoy your running.  Run happy and explore new routes in the sunshine.  Enjoy those quiet Summer mornings listening to the birds singing!
