71 hardy souls travelled to Wurdiboluc for the running of the Injury Clinic 12.6 km handicap on a bleak Sunday morning. Fortunately, the rain held off for the duration of the race. The run to the reservoir dam wall was slushy and once on the wall the runners were buffeted by cyclonic winds.
It was Luke Ryan who overtook Vin Gasper two kilometres from home to go on to win by 70 metres with Susan Andrews close behind in third. The win was Ryan’s third club win. Reigning club champions, Rachael Thompson and Daryl Burns, were their gender’s fastest.
Due to a technological glitch, hardworking handicapper Dan Wright worked industriously to come up with a complete set of results.
