Finish Chute Shoot Out

Well here are the results you have all been waiting for!

But first some photos!

The battle of the finish chute!
This proved to be the bloodiest of battles. There were some amongst us who stopped just prior to the last control- composed themselves and then punched and ran.
There were some who suggested that there needed to be some form of handicapping that allowed for the distance ran prior to the finish chute. And then there were some who just did not want to be last over the line.

Round 1 Saturday
Well it was a long uphill finish chute and the track was hard and fast.
Joint fastest up the chute were Aldo and Nick taking 26seconds and Michael and Linda were third fastest taking 31seconds
Round 2 – Sunday
It was a fairly flat run and track was firm.
Nick and Aldo did it again with 15 seconds. Linda again took out third in 18 seconds
Round 3 – Monday
The finish chute was not memorable. Finally a newcomer rose to the challenge and Rick stole 1st in 22 seconds with Dave and Clare taking joint second in 31seconds
Round 4 – Friday
The finish chute had an awkward lead up which taxed the mind and body. Whilst the chute was short t also sloped away.
Dick and Dave tied for 1st with a 16 second effort. Angela was close behind in 17seconds.
Round 5 – Saturday
It was the same setup as Friday so we were better prepared for the run in.
Dave and Lisa tied with a 15 second effort (check out Lisa’s photo!). Dick and Gayle tied for third with 18 seconds.
Round 6 – Sunday
This was indeed a favourable yet lengthy finish. The howling winds were right behind you. Some runners held their maps high above their heads “coming home with a wet sail!”
It was a three way tie today with Dick, Dave and Lisa all registering 38seconds.

And that is the story of the finish chute shoot out!
