Perhaps it was the inspiring comments from hubby Geoff on the adjacent golf course that encouraged such a sterling performance.
In second place was competition leader Craig Harris who amazingly cut another half a minute from his best time.
The consistent Allyson Weston and the improving Melinda Ellis staged a battle for the next two positions with Allyson the victor.
The final bonus point for a top five finish went to Allan Sim who never puts in a bad run. It shows the effort that some of these runners are putting in when you can be within fifteen seconds of your best time and still only manage a fifth spot.
Crag Harris with 53 points leads the championship from Allan Sim on 47 points. It is still possible for Warwick Shanks (39), Sharon Behl-Shanks (38) or Allyson Weston (31) to overhaul this leading duo but with only four runs remaining in the competition, such a result would be a major upset.
Ruth Mawbey was the winner of the two and a half kilometre run in only her second outing with the club.
Ruth was followed very closely by Ingrid Buchner with Tireni Mawbey a similar distance back in third spot.
The remaining two bonus point winners were Ella James and Alicia Harris.
Ellie Burnett (42.5) continues to lead the short-course championship but she has a serious challenger in reigning champ Tireni Mawbey (39) with Luke Behl-Shanks (36.5) the only other runner in contention.
