Hello crew!
I probably would have mentioned this earlier had I actually created some content for this ol' front page. None the less, I thought I would post it up now while it is fresh in my memory.
On the Great Whitsunday Run, Dad and I had stopped to help a dude who was injured on the side of the track. It was nice to see a small write up in the Townsville Road Runners newsletter about it!
"One such tale is of a runner who shall
remain nameless but who suffered such debilitating cramps in both legs and hands, along with cramps and pins and needles in his arms and face, that at the halfway point he was unable to stand let alone run.
One of our TRR’s, Sonia Chalk, who came upon him on the ground, raced off as fast as her own ill body would allow to summon help from the SES volunteers at the next aid station. Meanwhile TRR [Townsville Road Runners] Widge Rowden and his son Brad stopped and tried to straighten out the runner’s limbs as best they could. After successfully getting the runner to his feet and leaving him in the hands of the SES volunteers they continued on their merry way enjoying the flora and fauna (as you can choose to do on a 28km hill run)."
Of course, it's not like we stopped to help the guy just to get a mention in any publications, but it was really nice to see this in the newsletter. :)
The full version can be found here, and the section I am talking about is on page 3.
