After a long preparation by the lustrum committee, it was finally time to announce the biggest secret of the past few weeks on Wednesday 12 December. The theme would finally be announced during the only real 'lustrum theme announcement drink'.

On Friday evening December 14, we traveled to Nijmegen with a whole bunch of Kronauts to ascend the steps of the Erasmus building and to uphold our honor in the battle with the other student athletics clubs. First on the program was the 10 floors. A real sprint distance where you (especially on the last few steps) really have to fight the fatigue. Immediately it turned out that Kronauts could do this like no other, because with Annabel in third, Marjolein in second place and Lieke first for the women, the stage was already flush with Kronos green. Jing Yun also did very well! The men also did very well, with a second place for Gijs and quick times for Twan, Roy, Vincent, Corne, Marnick, Rogier and Sander.

Last Sunday hordes of Kronauten woke up in the early morning and travelled to Leiden to compete against other students of all corners of the country at the Dutch Student Championships road. Unfortunately, the other corners were not equally enthusiastic in showing up and therefore the Kronos green was well visible during the race. The race was part of the Leidse Houtloop, a small recreational race of two rounds of 5 km through the park “Leidse Hout”, with many curves and on gravel paths. It was therefore not the best race to run personal records, but rather a good opportunity for Kronos to win points in the Zeus competition and a good opportunity to check what the current form is.

Last Sunday AC Tion organised an indoor competition in Enschede. A number of Kronauten joined and there were some really good results. In the end, Jarin and Jitse cooked a delicious meal to end the day.

Next Thursday (20 September) the training will take place in the FBK station instead of at the Utrack. There will be two options for the training: pole vaulting, or normal running training. But we have also a nice alternative. Because after our training there will be a running race in the FBK stadion and participation is free for Kronauten and people who join the introductiontraining.

The Olympics are still two years away, however Kronos has decided to organise its own olympics called: The Kronolympics. This track meeting will be held the 30th of september at the UTrack.
