Early Birds Cross The Line Early

Two of Striders ‘early birds’, Julie Turner and Wendy Clarke from the early morning group placed in the top ten at the Doomben Hlaf 10km. In a keenly contested tussle between the cousins, Julie pipped Wendy at the post crossing in 42:24 to Wendy’s 42:48.

Julie was placed 4th in the women’s top ten and Wendy 6th. Julie placed 6th at the Brisbane Marathon 10km, in a large and competitive field, and Wendy placed 13th in the Half, which had plenty of elite female competitors including a former World Triathlon Champion. Congrats to you both and for showing the men a clean pair of heels!
