December 5@theLake Race Report

• the fourth in the 2018-19 “5@theLake” series
• humid, o’ so humid
• only 3 pbs as a result – 14 last month
• 40 starters
• only 1 first-timer

Another great morning at the Lake and the majority of results influenced by the humidity hangover from the warm temps and storms of recent days. We had only the 3 pbs.

Last month we had a close one with Vateesh Chand bettering Steve Pappas by 1 second. This go Steve was after payback and crossed the mat 20 secs ahead of Vateesh. Not so far away was young Jack. Vateesh turned the tables on Jack after last week’s 3.5k handicap result.

This event is not necessarily about the quickest. It really is about doing your best against yourself, and maybe then the others in your age categories.

There are 5 attachments to reflect the results.

Rep1 – Across the Line/Chip Times
Rep2 – Pointscores
Rep3 – Performance Points – Cumulative for 2018-19
Rep4 – Chip Times for 2018-19
Rep5 – Across the Line – in Age Category

The first report is straight-forward - reporting the chip time of all finishers.

By category, the quickest were:

Males:    Steve Pappas 19:49, Vateesh Chand 20:09 and Jack Wedgwood 20:41

Females:  Jacqui Viterale 23:08, Siobhan Kelly 24:24 and Emma Trinh 25:19

Juniors (under 16) – Male:  Jack Wedgwood 20:41, Nathan Trinh 25:35, and Owen Forest-Jones 29:48

Juniors (under 16) – Female:  Jessica Gurung 27:23

The second report reflects the calculated points and our real champs of the day, based on the international formula for gender and age against world record, and reported in ‘points’ sequence. It can be that the early finishers may not be the highest point-scorers and vice-versa.

Our winners:
Steve Pappas  478 points (first across the line)
Dean Turner  463 (fifth across the line)
Vateesh Chand  457 (second across the line)
Jacqui Viterale  457 (tenth across the line)

The third report is a cumulative result to-date of performance point-scores.

The 5@theLake is conducted through the Westies year. The competition winner will be the one with the highest cumulative point-score from eight of eleven events.

The fourth report is a listing of the 2018-19 participants with their recent times history. You can track results across the month, including consistencies, personal bests, et alia. It can be seen that the majority of our participants this month returned slower efforts than last month when conditions invited faster times.

The fifth report reflects the participants’ placings within age and gender categories.

To all our participants, thank you for being part of the event.

Again, a special thank you to Chris for setting up the water station, and Dave Kennedy for the fruit. Top efforts boys.

Thanks as always to the many helpers with the set-up and the mat put-away.

Winners of the draws:
