Mile

Only PRs for ladies in today's mile time trial, Wilma with a personal pacemaker. Jalil was pacing the top guys on the last several 100 meters.

Just in time before the big snowstorm came at 1:00 pm, we completed our mile time trial (2nd IAG qualification run). Happy Easter holidays !

Only PR today by Janine. Ruth, Agathe and Takehiko missed theirs by 3 seconds each, Emil even by only 1. Comeback of the race: Bob did his first mile after more than 2 years.

Too warm to set new Personal Records one should think, but we count 11 PRs in today's mile run ! Michio joined us again after his assignment in Toronto. Takehiko jumps from rank 15 to 8 in the top 100, Matthew misses his own VIC record by 4 seconds. Sorry we could not find a team for everybody, some registrations were cancelled in the last hours.

Anne took part the last time as active staff member, but we are looking forward to seeing her often in Donaupark as a retiree (not feeding pigeons but running with us of course).

Christina and Nada were paced to new PRs by Jalil and Allan while Julia was in the middle of a strong male group. Congratulations to all three of them !

Thank you to Matthew who showed us how to properly warm up before a race. Stephen had liked his farewell run two weeks ago so much that he showed up for another one today before leaving to Brussels. "Charlie" Chayama joined the IAEA again and did his first run with us after more than 10 years - welcome back !

Due to injuries and other committments, some teams had to be re-composed a little right before the start.
Weather was terrific, maybe a little bit too hot, and for the upcoming 10k on Thursday we could do with a few centigrades less.
For the first time, a nordic walker team took part.

Matthew missed his own VIC record by only one second. He is reveiling (part of) his secrets to all those who join in the VICRunners' weekly track training.
