Nagarit finished in 33 minutes, 54.51 seconds along a course that he described as pretty simple. ”It was a good race, but still, I didn’t have anybody to push me,” Nagarit said after his impressive performance Saturday which follows a flawless outing during the just concluded Spring 5K Series. “I was looking for something sub 30, but I did not have anybody to push me, so it’s hard when you’re trying to run out there by yourself,” Nagarit told reporters. He finished well ahead of second place finisher and first woman overall in the race Clare-Louise Whiley, who sprinted to the line in 51mintes, 14. 3 seconds, after racing from behind. “There was a field ahead of me and then I felt really strong coming along the back of the High School and coming on to the dual carriageway, and thought yeah, I can do this. I caught a bunch of people and just put as much distance between them and me. I finished and I was flying, so I was very pleased with today (Saturday). I thought the course was great and it was a great distance,” Whiley stated.
The next race in the Ceres Juices series on August 30. Final overall results: 1. Rasalula Naragit, 33 minutes, 54.51 seconds. 2. Claire-Louise Wiley, 51:14. 3. Richard Franicis, 51:37. 4.
