A cold north-westerly made for trying conditions for the field of 67 who turned out for the running of the Point Lonsdale Health and Wellness 10 km handicap at Point Lonsdale on Sunday. As the race commenced, drizzly rain started and persisted throughout the event. After a see-saw battle, Graham Tedoldi got the upper hand from Colin Hatton in the last 200 metres to win by 10 metres with Nicky Angus 25 metres back in third place. Returning to the club this season after a five year absence, it was a hometown win for Tedoldi who trains on the course regularly.
Alana Plymin and Liam Drady won the fastest time honours for their gender.
