Speed, speed and more speed were my highlights for the month of January within the Pacer village. From the amazing performances by the junior crew at the Country Championships {where each of the Junior Pacers claimed podium finishes with 7 of them being Gold} to the equally amazing month of speed by Binny (new 5k PB as well as a 21.1k PB) and Rob Fish (3 Port parkrun PBs in a row and then an away win at SWR to top it off).

As usual we had our monthly speed week and Pacer Mile with the long competition this month being the half marathon

Many Pacers made the tourist pilgrimages for away parkruns with Pacers picking up 3 away wins at Urunga, Gloucester and South West Rocks. We covered 4 states in our meanderings in January. Imagine what may have happened if we all felt at ease with travel.

On the social front Pacers were busy with the Hottest 100 Laps on the public holiday a meeting point for young and older. A number of Pacers made it to Queens Lake Laurieton for the Henry Kendall parkrun rehearsal with the opening next weekend at 8am.
