MEMBER NEWS

We’ve had some good news and some bad news!

First the good news. Congratulations to Hendra Barfoot who had a baby boy on 11 April. Julian is a welcome brother to Gabbi and Ruby.

Unfortunately one of our Comrades runners and Bill Rowan contenders, Jannie van Rooyen, had a work related accident and badly broke his ankle. He is recovering at home and will be out of action for a few months. Our thoughts are with him and we wish him a speedy and complete recovery.

There will be a club breakfast run on Sunday 27 May. Details will follow on sms.

Dave Wright a 5 times Comrades gold medallist (with his best being 2nd to Alan Robb) visited the club on Tuesday 15 May. After running our time trial he delivered a great Comrades talk. We want to thank Dave again for his time and for the WISDOM that he shared with us!

We would like to wish every Alberton Athlete the best of luck on Comrades day.

Believe in yourself and all the months of hard training will pay off. Stay positive, keep going and go get the reward … your medal and your personal achievement.

ANNUAL PRIZE-GIVING POINTS SYSTEM

The system is explained fully on the website under Road Running -> Incentives or contact Andries Venter or Deon Pretorius for more information.

In summary:

  • The first 3 runners per category at selected CGA, GN and Vaal races receive 100, 99 and 98 points respectively.
  • To be considered for an annual category prize a person has to compete in at least 3 races (from the selected list) for that category for the year and the person’s top 3 points for the year for that category are added together.
  • The top 3 points earners for the year win first, second and third place per category.
  • A person receives additional points for breaking club records for a specific category and distance at any of the selected races.
  • The reason for limiting it to CGA, GN and Vaal races is mainly to eliminate the advantage someone gains from running at lower altitude as well as to “equal” the playing field regarding costs to attend far-off races.

Here is a list of the 2012 road running fixtures where points will be awarded. We will also endeavour to send the updated points standings with the newsletter every second month.
