Die Velocity-atletiekklub het n\u00e1 suksesvolle veld- en baan-byeenkomste deur die Westelike Provinsie-atletiek-vereniging en Atletiek Suid-Afrika die afgelope drie weke, die voortou geneem en die eerste padwedloop vir seniors by die Silwerstroom-vakansieoord aangebied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens die koronavirus-regulasies het Velocity nie baie atlete verwag nie, maar hy was verras om te sien dat atlete uit selfs Gauteng vir di\u00e9 gewilde jaarlikse halfmarathon oor 21 km ingeskryf het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wedloop is in 2020 weens die inperking afgelas, maar die organiseerders het vanjaar hard gewerk om die byeenkoms suksesvol te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Mario Philander, die hooforganiseerder van die wedloop, is 180 inskrywings ontvang en was die Velocity-byeenkoms die eerste klubwedloop vir die jaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Philander is hulle baie tevrede met die opkoms van 150 atlete. Die vroe\u00eb koue voor die wedloop het nie die atlete afgeskrik nie, en hulle het mekaar uit die staanspoor opdraande gegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die wenner, Siboniso Somdaka van die Kaapse Skiereiland- Universiteit van Tegnologie (KSUT) se atletiekklub, het die eerste 7 km baie gelyk verloop, maar by die 12 km-merk het hy besluit om die pas te verhoog en is gevolg deur Duane Fortuin en Nkosinathi Mayo van onderskeidelik die Boxer- en die KSUT-atletiekklub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somdaka s\u00ea sy uithouvermo\u00eb in die laaste kilometers het hom die wenstreep in 1:06:34 laat oorsteek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortuin was tweede in 1:07:40 en Mayo het die derde plek in 1:08:30 ingeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die vroueafdeling het Kelly Nel, die WP-kampioen, erge teenstand van haar klubmaat Alexa Townsend en Alm\u00e9 Jordaan van die Akademie-atletiekklub gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlhoewel ons nog nie 100% fiks is nie, het ons steeds goeie tye behaal,\u201d het Nel ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baie van die atlete was baie be\u00efndruk met die re\u00eblings en kom gewis volgende jaar terug, het hulle belowe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plaaslike atlete van Atlantis Harriers het ook die oog gevang. \u2019n Drietal spanmaats wat tot aan die einde by mekaar gebly het, was Leroy Afrikaner met \u2019n persoonlike beste tyd van 1:35:00, gevolg deur Jakobus Janaurie (53), wat die Comrades-ultramarathon al 13 keer aangedurf het en in 1:41:00 klaar was, en Matthew Speelman in 1:45:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Philander het alles baie goed verloop en s\u00ea veral verkeersbeamptes het verseker dat die atlete \u2019n veilige wedloop kon h\u00ea. Hy s\u00ea hulle is gewis aanstaande jaar terug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
