Nikosi of RBTT Bank first among the Financial Institutions at RWTC 5K
Nikosi Mc Leish of RBTT Bank was the highest placed runner from the financial services sector at the RWTC 5K which was held on Sunday March 11, 2007 around the Queen’s Park Savannah. The race started in front of TGIF and went one lap around the Queen’s Park Savannah back to TGIF and made a small loop within the Savannah and to the finish line opposite TGIF.
The race was put on by the Rainbow Warrior Triathlon Club, over 200 runners faced the starter. When the race started at 1.30 pm, the sun was out but obscured by clouds and a slight breeze was blowing across the Savannah which made the going cool for the 5K.
Nikosi made good use of the weather conditions though his time of 20.13 was a bit slower than his CLICO 5K time of 18.57 a few weeks ago, his 10th place overall was quite rewarding at this level.
It good to see that he is keeping at it and improving, it augurs well for his CariFin performance in the next three months. He is that kind of runner that is curious and always wants to learn about the sport and find new ways to improve on his performance.
Now is as good a time as any to remind you of Nikosi pedigree in CariFin – what he did at CariFin 2006.
In the overall cross country event at Sevilla, Nikosi placed second, in the first Urban Challenge – The One Lap Savannah 4th, Green Mile – 2nd, Mini Cross country at The Botanic Garden – 2nd.
CariFin e-news will be looking closely at Nikosi’s performance at all events that he enters for the rest of year.
CariFin e-news questioned Nikosi about his RWTC performance and this is what he had to say.
“I was disappointed with my performance; I was going for better time than 18.57 my CLICO 5K time, though the course seemed fast, the weather wasn’t to my liking and I felt the course longer than a 5K…. But I enjoyed the race”.
