🏃♀️ RSR Coaching: September Recap 🏃♂️
Wake me up when September ends! It’s honestly sped up and
flown by, and there is far too much goodness to celebrate. From ultra journeys
along the coast to local road races and incredible volunteer efforts, our RSR
Community keeps showing up, digging deep, and inspiring.
Here is what our runners and legends have achieved so far this month:
🏃♂️ Local Races & Strong Performances
The Last Lighthorse (Ultra Series WA): Our RSR athletes and friends dug deep in this tough, timed loop endurance challenge! Especially with the overnight downpours.
In the 24hr event, Tom Rad placed 2nd overall with a whopping 213.28km accrued. All that training paid off, and as always, Tom was chipper throughout. 🤗
Thanks to his support in Aaron Young & Tom Hughson
In 4th position, with a distance PB of 193.69 km, was Alan Williams
Al’s consistency and training have truly paid off. He also got to run the experience with his brother, Laurence. And supported by his family. What a great Father’s Day! 🙌🏽
Congratulations to Dionettte for taking out the Women’s podium. 🏅
And huge shoutouts to Carolin, Linda, Kevin, Jamie (Chemie Banger) in his
wonderful white tights, Gurung Kiran for running in his full kit, Morgan, Abdul-Raouf with
all of his costumes, Smiles get the Miles Bradley, Kris, Chris Earley and Steve Westover.
In the relay 24hr, huge props to the team of Katie, Janet, Sharon and Sonya.
And to Belinda for all of her support in being medic and crewing for all of her friends.
In the 12 hours – congrats to Ammar Mahmood.
The 6hr runners: it was a delight to see Berenice Lawrie, and see
Craig Pilkington assist his friend to a 50km+ run and a 4th place overall.
Finally, in the 3hr, the lovely Julia Mackay got her 23.31km and, as always, brought the
vibes and the outfits. ❤️
Well done to other locals running: Tanya, Fiona, Noel Wright, Nic de Goede, to name a
few
3 Valleys (Runningworks): Great running by David White on a demanding course; the photos don’t do it justice.
Col Junner (WAMC): Excellent representation by our WAMC local legends.
Bibra Lakes Run: Solid, fast efforts put in by Big Kev (6km) and Claudia Seke Mike Kowal (12km)!
The Bloody Long Walk: Well done to Lauren, Kristie Renie and Michelle and everyone who took on the 35km challenge for a great cause! 🚶♀️
🏆 Podium & Ultra Milestones
Mighty Jarrah Trail Run: Huge performance by Caroline Fenton, earning a brilliant 3rd Place Female finish in the 21km Almighty! 🥉
Mighty Jarrah Volunteers & Multi-Sport: A massive thanks to Chemie for giving back and
volunteering on course, and a shout-out to Brett Griffiths for crushing the event on the
bike as part of the Dwellingup100! 🚴♂️
Surf Coast Century (Rapid Ascent): Major props to Matt for tackling this iconic 100km coastal ultra course - for another year! PB, no
matter the illness.
Sunset Coast Half Marathon: Well done to Damien McVeigh in the marathon, Jackie
Jacqueline Kelly, and Jason Diss in the Half Marathon. A notable shout-out to
Robert Vowles, who fortunately/unfortunately was a DNS.
Women's Classic: it was the 40th rendition of the event, and one of my last races two years ago before my injury cycle. The day was spectacular, and the WAMC turned it on in PINK. 🎀
Vietnam Mountain Race: Aaron Stone had such a mentally and physically challenging race ever, with mud so unrunnable even on the flats. Finishing in the top 100 out of a field of 1400 runners, many of whom DNF due to the conditions.
Excellent effort in a slip n slide of a time!
City2Bay Adelaide: Alyce Kerr ran her heart out in the sub-50 field for the 12km distance. Finishing with a 10km PB and a huge 12km PB. Absolute weapon. 💥
And congratulations to everyone who took part in the inaugural Runningworks Beachside event in Port Kennedy.
Together we are better. 💙
