ACT 2000 Winter Calendar


Pre-race favourites Rod Higgins and Dave Osmond did not disappoint, leading a strung out group of 6 in from the first run. Paul Smith was not far off the pace, and pushed to stay in touch on the bike, unfortunately coming adrift after hitting a sandy washout taking a wide line on the descent to the river. Higgins had a comfortable lead off the bike by over 20 seconds, however by the closing stages of the run he was far from comfortable, with cramps setting in, allowing Osmond to catch and pass him on the final climb to the finish. Adrian Sheppard put in a strong overall performance for 3rd male.

In the women's race it was a great day for the older generation. Kim Rowe led Jane Badenoch-Jones (45+) in from the first run, but then dropped well off the pace on the bike. Once on the bike, pre-race favourite Julia Graczyk moved strongly through the field, showing her strength as a cyclist, until flatting at the old crossing then ran the remaining 3km back to transition pushing her bike. Badenoch-Jones led in from the bike, and was never threatened in taking out the win, followed by Jane Roots (35-44) with Kim Rowe chasing hard for third place.

Each category winner received a Mont Activent Vest, perfect for the coming winter cold, 2nd place a $30 voucher from ONYA Bike Warehouse and 3rd a $20 voucher from The Runners Shop. Spot prizes included a Mont Polarfleece jacket and other warm gear, with additional prizes from ONYA Bike, MalAdjusted and The Runners Shop. Gu was also a sponsor with each competitor receiving product in their race pack.

This new race format was enjoyed by athletes from diverse backgrounds including mountain bikers, cross-country and mountain runners, and triathletes. Many had borrowed a MTB just for the race! The next race in the series over 4/16/4 takes place at noon on Sunday June 18.
