Organisers Helen and Ken Post decided on the start time of 10am rather than the usual 9.30am as everything had to be set up on the morning of the event. The forecast for Joondalup for the day was 33 for mid afternoon, so the light easterly combined with the abundance of tree shade on campus made it reasonably pleasant running in the morning.
The final MetrO for the season was mapped and set by Nick Dale. The brand new map complements Duncan’s map of north City Beach and Ricky’s map of south-west (coastal) City Beach, to complete the mapping of this large suburb.
The second last MetrO series event was held at Woodbridge Riverside Park in Viveash. An amazing turnout of participants rocked up to race around Viveash and along the river, so much so that we ran out of maps! While the Short course may not have provided lots of route choice, the Medium & Long courses were filled with plenty of routes to choose from.
