9th December Sole Sisters Carrot Cake Run
This was the final of our 8-week Couch to 5km (C25K) course, the notorious (?) Carrot Cake Run in which those who could maybe only jog for just 1 minute 8 weeks ago, ran a full 5kms not stop!
Supported by 30 club members, 3 graduates made it to the end to complete the programme, Amanda Charles-McGrath, Sue Wilson and Thomas Fischer all completed the full distance to finish the event with a slice of carrot cake.
3rd December “Gravel” Ride to Fonikas
This Wheelnutters “Gravel” Ride did not quite go as planned. It was lots of fun but heavy rain the previous night had turned the “gravel” into mud so the bikes were very quickly so clogged with mud riding them became impossible.
One rider, who shall remain nameless (Gill Walton) found herself lying in a muddy puddle but whether that was accidental or simply a way of cooling down is not clear!
It took 2 hours from Riccos beach to Mandria, so Fonikas was abandoned in favour of a car-and-dog-wash with pressure hoses to get the bikes rideable.
1st December Paphos Park Run
A good turn out today despite the clash with the Grand Prix 10km race from the harbour the same morning, with some keen souls even running both events!
We took 6 age group winners in the Park Run, including Ioannis Aresti doing a 20-minute pacemaker role and finishing in a time of exactly 20:00 in 3rd place overall.
Although well outside Ioannis’ best time he still won the overall best-for-age competition. Not content with that he went on to complete the 10km race with a 40-minute performance!
A dozen of us ran the Grand Prix 10km race and this great big smile is from a lady who has been out of action for months after a knee operation, seen here finishing her first 10km race:
