In today's 5k time trial, temperatures were pleasant: +2 degrees after the last days' negative numbers. The slippery surface did not allow any PRs except for snow specialist Wiebke. First VICRunners appearance for Slava and Adam - welcome !
This was a very exciting 5k competition with a promising bunch of newcomers, and we are looking forward to seeing them compete with Matthew next year. Congratulations to the seven runners with PRs - they all climb up in the top 100 list.
This September 5k Time Trial was the farewell run for Takehiko and Jorge. Takehiko has joined us in 18 VICRunners races, he will go back to Japan. Jorge has participated 56 times and is retiring now. All the best to both of them !
Many participants were relaxed enough (after the IAG and before summer holidays) to improve their PRs by one or two minutes ! Welcome to Tess, Andrew and Soheil in their first VICRunners event !
Today's 5k time trial was the farewell run for our friend Gregor who will leave us at the end of this year to run (and live) in Australia for a change. His time in the results below includes running back on the course to shake hands with slower participants. Comeback of the day: Beng joined us again after almost 8 years !
Today's 5k time trial was the farewell run for our colleague Bernd who will soon leave for Germany. He was a core member of the CTBTO team at the Agency Games and recorded strong entries in our top 100 lists.
Marco had a successful comeback after his injury.
A lot of PRs in the relatively young discipline of 5km runs which will all reflect in the top 100 list of course (is this already the effect of Matthew's special training ?).
Good to see Gerald back in the results list after his "pine cone incident" last June.
Agathe has been added at the end of the list. As a newcomer she did not find the start but joined the race at a later point of time.
Before the announced storm "Kyrill" hits Vienna this evening, the VICRunners could still do the scheduled 5k time trial in Donaupark.
This was a farewell run for Andreas who is going to leave CTBTO at the end of this month. He will still join us for our triathlons as his new assignment will be at a Viennese bank.
Lots of timers today, but it was necessary: the equipment failed and the recording had to be done manually.
