Tait sisters take on France

On saturday 31st May Kara and Colleen Tait took part in the L’Amienoise 10k in France. This 10k attracted over 3000 women runners on a warm night. The course which was gradually up hill for the first couple of kilometers a took the sisters around the town and country side of Amiens and finished with the runners coming into a packed stadium. In her first race against international runners Kara found herself as one of the top 5 favorites. Running along crowd lined streets Kara found herself in a race and finished 4th in 36.30 and was beaten by two Ukrainian’s and one French athlete. With only a handful of training sessions under her belt in 3 months due to injury Colleen finished in an excellent 44th place in a time of 45.50. This was slower than last year but a great effort with a lack of training.
