Lots of Personal Bests set at the 30th KATA Time Trial held Feb 14
The monthly KATA (Kenyan Athletics Training Academy) time trial was held February 14 in Thika Kenya. Most athletes ran very well lowering their personal best with huge margins.
Raphael karita won the 10 km race in a scintillating time of 29:20 lowering his previous time by 32 seconds. Karen waithera was equally impressive taking the crown in the woman race in a time of 33:59. She lowered her previous time by 11 seconds.
She was followed by Jacinta mwende who clocked 35:10 lowering her personal best by 57 seconds. Lois wambui was third in a time of 35:29 improving her previous time by 51 seconds. Kevin ragui won the 5k men race in a time of 14:53 which was 19 seconds of improvement from his previous time. He was followed by Charles ndirangu who posted a personal best of 15:42 lowering his previous time by 20 seconds. Lilian musenya gave KATA family smile and tears of joy at the same time by winning the 5k race in a time of 19:07 improvement of 11 seconds from her personal best. Her time was indeed impressive because she has been unwell.
The overall performances were very impressive. We have posted improvement in all aspects of our athletes. We performed in the schocing heat and we prevailed. This is a clear indication that we are on the right track. As a team we have managed to exercise and apply the strength and the power of information and knowledge. Getting athletes to understand the art and the dynamic of training bore fruits. Scintillating indeed.
KATA's guests from France also participated, Arthur and Marie ran the 5k.
The next KATA Time Trial (#31) is set for March 13, 2024
