Bridge to Brisbane Results & Wrap Up

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Bridge to Brisbane yesterday (Sunday 11 September 2011). We had some fantastic results with both the Men's and Lady's Drive Fitness Hall of Fame records broken - Andrew Hartung claiming the Men's record with 47min 36sec and Emma Waller retaining and improving the Lady's record with 49min 37sec. A special BIG congratulations to these two Drive Fitness record holders and everyone who improved their time from last year. This is a very big achievement! We had some great results from our trainers also. David achieved his best 10km time ever with 45min 55sec and Nathan achieved a 46min 44sec. Thank you to everyone who regularly joins us at Walk & Run Club sessions. This has been a great help for me and others - training as a group helps to keep us all accountable.

Drive Fitness was well represented with a team of 50 participants. It was very impressive to see so many people involved and enjoying the event and the Drive Fitness singlets stood out in the crowd making it easy to catch up with and encourage other Drive Fitness runners during the race. As a personal trainer it was one of the most satisfying days for me. I know I speak for all of the Drive Fitness trainers when I say that it was a great feeling to see so many people achieving their goals by completing the 10km event. We already have plans for early next year to enter a Drive Fitness team in the Brisbane Twilight Run!

Thank you to everyone that helped prepare the BBQ for after the event. It was a well deserved and needed breakfast following a big effort. Thank you also to everyone on our team for being such an encouraging and supportive group for each other. It's great that amongst some competitiveness everyone is supportive and happy to share in each other's achievements.

Walk & Run Club sessions will continue every Saturday 7am from next week (follow the Walk & Run Club link at the top of this news page to see the schedule for the remainder of 2011). I would just like to encourage everyone to keep up the training for next year.
