nib April 17 Georgetown Win at OFSAA meets Local runners fare well at Guelph race On Good Friday April 5 15 members of the Georgetown Track Club ventured to to run In the Billy Taylor 15 kilometer road race The race began at a m and precisely at a it started to rain Five minutes into the race we were running In a torrential downpour and thunder could be heard in the distance After the first five kilometers everyone was totally soaked and miserable and wc felt things could only get better We were wrong Turning on to a dirt after the five kilometer mark we found wc were running in a sloppy mud pit If we thought we were badly off that day to feel better we only had to look at Brendan Geary for Poor Brendan took his 10spced along to help pace his father Joe through the race When he turned on to the it was an effort to keep those narrow tires churning through the mud We re not sure who had the better workout that day By the 10kilometer mark the rain had let up wc were back on pavement and things were starting to look a little better Until we saw the hill Most people who run a 15- kilometer race tend to run it like a 10kilometer and hope they can hold on for the last five kilometers

for the last kilometer before the finish they once again find a long upgrade but not nearly as steep as the previous hill Many runners considered it the roughest last five kilometers of any race they had run This race was once again won by Roger Martindill who set a new course record of 14 Roger runs for the Toronto Olympic Club Pauline Watson of the Burlington Road Runners was the first woman
