PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hello everyone,
Another busy month with plenty of activity around the club!
We had a great turn-out for Canberra with some of us stopping off at Goulburn for a parkrun along the way, and with
the weather being much more pleasant this year there was a much less biting reception from the stainless-steel throne!
The pre-event dinner was a raging success again, and the dimly lit atmosphere did not reflect the enthusiasm and
anticipation of the coming day. Thanks again to Linda Roberts for organising this for us - it’s always fun to see new
faces at the table. Race day itself was a cracker of a day – not cold, no rain or wind, yet enough cloud cover to take the
sting out of the sun. The course allows us to track the progress of each other on the kickbacks and dog-legs so it is
easy to spot the Fred Fisher ghost shirts coming along, there was plenty of encouragement going both ways!
And the support at the finish-line is legendary with cheers aplenty for all finishers. We also love the support from afar
with plenty of feels coming from the live Canberra app as it tracked participants’ progress along the way.
We had some excellent results too with participants in the half, 10K and 5.4K events. Results here:
https://solemotive.com/pages/ctmf-results Thanks for the memories Canberra, see you next year.
There is such a thing as Junior Cross Country. I’ll be writing up how good it was this time next month. You’ll see.
At the Track, we had another exciting Eliminator event with newcomer John Southam taking out the prize, always good
to have new people discover this fun and challenging event. And while we’re here, a big thanks to the volunteers who
make “Track-Nite” possible every week, it seems like it just happens but that’s only because we have a dedicated team
of CJC members giving their time behind the scenes. And yes, anyone can help – you don’t have to know anything to
start (I didn’t). Our friendly vollies would love to show you the ropes. It’s fun to help out!
There was joy! There was disappointment! There was relief! What a rollercoaster run the Soft Serve Run turned out to
be. Special thanks to Sylvia for the shout at Minto!
A reminder that the Campbelltown City Challenge Walk is on Sunday the 22nd of May. We need your help to make
this event a success. Please look out for our Fun-Run organiser Tom Limbrey and make sure to put your name down
to help. There is no club run organised for that day.
Let us know about any achievement you’re proud of, we love to hear your stories!
Keep on running, and I’ll see YOU out there!
James Baker - President CJC

SAFETY on COURSE
Important safety guidelines for CJC club runs…
Please be reminded that, at all times, member safety is our utmost priority - PB's, times, club
championship points all come second.
At all times, runners must be aware and responsible for their own personal safety. There are a number
of instances on our Club Handicap Course where you may need to slow down slightly to allow you to
cross a road safely. This will have minimal impact on your overall time but has very high value in staying
injury free, or alive for that matter!
→ Each runner when exiting Bradbury Oval carpark must cross as soon as possible and run
facing the traffic up The Parkway. For a mass start we will have marshals at the carpark exit
to make this crossing as safe as possible, however you are reminded that your personal
safety is your responsibility - if there is a car, wait for it to pass before you cross.
→ Runners must run along the left-hand side of St Johns Road and cross as close as possible
to the Briar Road Roundabout. Cross with caution.
→ Runners must be facing traffic down The Parkway to finish. Proceed with caution at
Parkway/Campbellfield Roundabout and also be cautious of cars exiting Bradbury Shops.
Road Running can be a dangerous activity and your safety must always remain your first priority.

RECENT EVENTS
The April Eliminator3000 was held on the 12th
April. As usual we had many contenders, some
running on tired legs after the weekend in
Canberra.
Featuring in the final again this month and finishing
in the top four was young Woojin S. Woojin
finished 3rd in the March Eliminator and 2nd this
month. He’s a gutsy young runner and definitely
one to watch.
Speaking of ones to watch, our newcomer John
Southam tore up the track, completing the final
400m in just 60 seconds, taking first place. Eva
took 3rd place and Ben 4th. They each ran 68s for
the final 400.
The March 10km Handicap race was again run on
the new course due to construction on the usual
course.
The event was won by Elizabeth Lewis, with
Clarisse Baker in second and Cheryl Perin third.
Liz has been committed to training for her first half
marathon in Canberra and her persistence has paid
off!
Well done ladies!
The Canberra Marathon Festival
delighted and destroyed us in equal
measure! The weather was perfect,
particularly after so much rain at home,
and the event had a brilliant atmosphere
with thousands of people gathering in our
Nation’s capital after the challenging few
years. Many of our team achieved
fantastic results, achieved personal goals,
and enjoyed the comradery of our awesome club! We did all agree that the COVID impact on training schedules
over the last two years could be felt in mind and body. Congratulations to all participants and we look forward to
an even bigger team of CJC runners next year.

SENIOR MEMBER PROFILE
ELIZABETH LEWIS
Age: 40
Years with the Club: 3, I think?
Favourite Food: Don’t really have one.
Favourite Drink: Dirty Chai on almond milk or a cola Kombucha.
Movie or TV series you’d recommend: I don’t watch many movies these days so I’d have to
defer to my all time favourites of The Goonies or Forest Gump. As far as TV series goes I really
like Stranger Things and am currently obsessed with You Can’t Ask That on ABC iView –
insightful, fascinating and funny!
Most recent running related purchase (or what’s on your wish list): I think it was probably
my Hoka One One Bondis.
Preferred brand of running shoes: Love my Brooks, but the Hokas are kind of special – they
saw me through my first half and a red singlet!
Favourite sport to watch: Don’t really get to watch much these days. Loved watching rugby
league growing up. I guess the Olympics is always pretty exciting to watch when it rolls around!
Most memorable sporting moment you’ve watched live or on TV: The Sydney Olympics was
pretty special, there was such a vibe in the city and it was incredibly exciting to go in and watch
some of the Athletics. The men’s 4x100m freestyle relay still gives me goosebumps when I watch
it.
Favourite training run: Funnily enough, it’s my low aerobic grass barefoot run. I enjoy the opportunity for quiet reflection and the
feel of the grass, dirt and mud beneath my feet! It’s also been super beneficial for my cardio!
Fastest 10km: 1:12:20.
Running achievement you’re most proud of: I think it would have to be winning the red singlet and completing my first half
marathon recently!
Typical training week: Prior to December it was just track and either parkrun or Orienteering, but over the last 3 months it has
consisted of a 30-40 min trail session of a Monday, track on Tuesday, low aerobic barefoot grass run on Thursdays, long run
Fridays and club run on Sundays.
Running Goal: Well, I’ve just ticked off two big ones! I would like to keep working on my fitness and eventually do a sub 70min
10km and a sub 30min 5km. It feels a long way away at the moment, but anything is possible if you want it bad enough and put
the work in.
Advice for other members recovering from injury: Listen to your body, be patient
and see a good osteopath!
Who or what inspires you as a runner? Pretty much the whole joggers club, everybody
is inspirational in their own way. The speedsters like Ben, Locky, Darren and Ricky blow
my mind. The marathoners and ultra marathoners like John, Mitchell and Kay – I don’t
know how they do it. More recently, the super hard work and rapid improvement of Waz
and Loz has been really inspiring. Special mention to Brad also who always seems to kill
it with his #NoTraining method.
If you could enter any running event anywhere in the world, which would you
choose? Now, that’s a hard one. I may have to do some research! I’m looking forward to
doing UTA22 this year. Apart from that... I used to live and work in the beautiful mountains
of Whistler Blackcomb many years ago. I’d love to go back and do their trail parkrun there.
I also think it would be interesting to get a team together and compete in the orienteering
category for NavShield one day maybe!

SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT – WILL LIMBREY
Recent new CJC member, Will Limbrey, headed off to
compete in the World Irish Dancing Championship in
Belfast on the Easter weekend. He's been Irish Dancing
since he was 3 years old and has won many trophies over
the years. He has competed in World Championship before
in the junior age groups, but he is now in the Opens
category and hoped to finish on the podium this year.
Everyone who knows Will knows that from the age of 3 he
has loved NOTHING more than Irish Dancing. It has given
him ups and downs, travel, amazing friends and the kind of
drive and determination that is incredible to behold. He has worked incredibly hard over many years
striving to achieve his goal. Last weekend, he got his globe, 5th in the World, at the same venue
where he first competed on the world stage as a 10year old.
Now we’ll have to see where he takes this running thing!
By a very proud uncle, Tom Limbrey.
