Many records were broken in this last run of the year before Christmasvacation ....
It was a most joyful run in the last Pondrace of the year at the 6th of Desember. Many records were broken and the spirit among the runners and all the helpers was in “seven heaven” as we say here in Iceland.
Seven runners participated and like most of the time it was Andres Ramon who won the race. He improved the time from his previous run for about 32 seconds. So we can say that Andres is the winner of the Pondrace for the year 2005, since he has almost always won when he has participated in that year.
The next three runners did all make personal records in the Pondrace. Guys like Runar Pall who improved his best time for about 7 seconds and for the first time did run in less that 13 minutes in the Pondrace. Then it was Hartman who improved his time for about 10 seconds but his best time in the Poundrace was 14:05 so it was his first time when he ran under 14 minutes. Least but not last it was Kristbjörg who improved her previous time for about 1 minute and 40 seconds! That was a marvelous improvement, and for that we happily and joyfully give her the credit “the greatest improver of the evening”.
The last in the race were the three heroes Upajukta, Brynjar and Víðir who all will most definitely improve their time next year. Since this was the last Poundrace of the year, we decided to have a small celebration where we ate pizza, drink coke and ate all kinds of sweeties which everybody enjoyed a lot.
Notice that you can see closest to the camera on the right side Runar Jensson who passed by in Colombia at the 31th of Desember. He will be sadly missed by everybody in the center and we know that he will be running a lot in heaven. This run is dedicated to him.
