BBQ Stakes 29 th September 2010

Andrew Guild stood in the timekeepers shoes today.

Despite having a reasonably light to heavy cold, Andrew stood in for the winner from last week, who was unable to come today. Andrew would not have come except he needed a signature from a person at his workplace who was at meetings all morning.

He was going to have the afternoon off after getting the required signature.

48 competed today with the winner being Colin Phillips, a relative newcomer with 23 runs and a PB of 35:02 on 9 th June 2010. Colin agreed to do the timekeeping next week.Second place went to Peter Marlton finishing on 41:06, 3 rd placed Nathan Smythe, finished in 41:06.

Returning today from his trip overseas was Roger Pilkington, who jogged around with Robert Ey. Robert and Roger have run many marathons between them and are good running pals. Roger filled us in on Carolyne's medical condition and trials and tribulations, having been in touch with her recently.

Bathurst Edgell Jog 2010

EDGELL JOG: Rowe burns jog rivals on flats

13 Sep, 2010

SYDNEY runner Tim Rowe has sealed what he describes as the highlight of his career after a comfortable all-the-way win in the 35th Edgell Jog yesterday.
Rowe led from the early stages of the race, was never seriously headed and delivered on his pre-race plan to make the most of the downhill and flat sections as he clocked a winning time of 22 minutes, 52 seconds.
Former winners Phillo Saunders and Thomas Crasti gave chase along with Canberra runner Thomas Do Canto after pulling well clear of the rest of the field within the first few kilometres.
Having opened up a gap of around 50 metres into the Esrom Street hill climb, Rowe maintained the buffer he then extended his lead further. He had effectively doubled his advantage as he reached Rocket Street after the half-way mark.
There were a handful of hopeful attempts from the chasing trio to run him down but none of them could make a dent in his lead and the race became a battle for second spot over the closing kilometres.
With the benefit of experience on his side having twice finished second in addition to his victory in 2007, Saunders (23.03) who had looked to be struggling at one stage, kicked clear of Do Canto (23.08) in the run to the line with Crasti (23.23) following for fourth.
The winning time was just under a minute slower than that of race record holder Shaun Creighton who won the eight kilometre event in 1997.
“It was a bit warm, it was my first time on the course and to be honest I wasn’t expecting that hill [Esrom Street] to be so tough, it just seemed to go on forever,” Rowe said afterwards.
“I had thought about trying to pace myself with the leaders and then kick at the end but I decided to go out pretty hard instead and hope I could hold on and fortunately it did.
“I haven’t don’t a lot of hill work lately so all the climbs hurt, even the last one to the finish line. I planned pretty early on to go as hard as I could on the downs and flats and just hang on going up the hills.”
The Sydney runner nominated his previous athletic highlight as a sixth place in the 2008 City 2 Surf, but said this win easily surpassed that.
“This is number one now for sure. It was great to come out here and get a win,” he said.
Saunders said that his track running background helped him fight back in the dying stages to claim second after he looked in trouble mid-way through the race.
“I pretty much held my own going up the hills and then on the way down Thomas Crasti came past and put me under a bit of pressure,” the Canberra runner said.
“My track background holds me in pretty good stead though in terms of running around other people in the late stages of a race.”

BBQ Stakes 15 th September 2010

A field of of 57 today, with the winner of the tuggeranong Stakes on the previous day, Danny Hansen also competing. Matthew Murphy one of the last to start, finished well up in the field. Matthew Murphy ran 36:20 in the 10 km Canberra Times Run last Sunday. Lloyd Edwards was the first to finish, but was not eligible to win. The winner was Danny Hansen who also won the Lake Tuggeranong Stakes Handicap on the previous day. Second was Julie Quinn with John Barret taking out the bronze position. Lloyd Donnelly was awarded his 300th run T-Shirt, his first run was in March 1995, with a PB of 25;00 minutes. He has had 11 wins in that time. Raymod Chao celebrates 1 year of running the BBQ Stakes. Kerrie Tanner ran in the Canberra Times Fun Run with the training group of more than 100, in a time of 54:04. Bob Harlow reports that Carolyne has been in Dorset County Hospital for 8 days, and has been very sick. She is likely to be there for several more days. At last she has started to perk up a little.

Lake Tuggeranong Stakes Tuesday 14 th September 2010

A regular turnout of runners today with one new runner on the day.

Danny Hansen was awarded his 100 runs T-Shirt and was also the winner of today's handicap.

Danny has a PB of 23:57 which he ran on 30th April 2003. He finished on 39 minutes.

Rad completed the course in 38:51 gross, being the first to commence from a handicap of zero.

Gordon Calcino tuned up, pushing a shopping trolley, which he regularly does, I think he does a collection of rubbish on the way to the handicap, and he was one of the first to finish.

The Woden bunch turned up, with Ian Hore starting off something like 6 minutes.

However, Dolph Page was not with them, probably due to a tough run in The Canberra Times Fun Run the previous Sunday.

BBQ Stakes Resuts 8 th September 2010

BBQ Stakes 8 th September 2010.

First eligible across the line was Lorna Barr, who last week, finished in 7 th place. Second eligible was Matthew Murphy, and 3rd eligible was Hugh Moore. A field more like usual size, of 56 ran today, with Binh Dang being the first to return due to being injured. That's the second time in the last few weeks, when he has finished early due to being injured. (He was in both cases, unable to complete the 6 km course. Geoff Moore has been hit with a sore Achilles, so did not compete today, it may be a while before he recovers. This comes soon after suffering a hamstring injury. Roger Pilkington recently completed an overseas marathon, and is probably looking for a further race to run, he is a regular runner of the BBQ Stakws.

Brian Crowe after his recent holiday, recorded the finishers, with Doug Fry handing out place cards, Helen Larmour arrived in plenty of time time to start off her handicap, as did Matthew Murphy with another great time, last week he ran 22:48.

Kerrie Tanner ran with Leah Afiabo, who hadn't run for a few weeks, and they crossed the line together, with Kerrie letting Leah take the earlier place card.

Kerrie is associated with The Canberra Times traing group, of about 150 or so who will be competing in The Canberra Times Family Fun Run, with about 3500 others, this coming Sunday. Good luck to all the training Group and to the BBQ stakes runners competing in that run.

With the VFL season progressing to the finals, a remark was made to some of the more ardent AFL supporters, about their teams' fate in the current season.

Lloyd Donnelly will be due for his 300 th T-Shirt next week, provided he completes the run.

Lake Ginninderra Handicap Tuesday 31 August 2010

http://people.smartchat.net.au/~sutcliff/handicap/gh.htm

23 runners competed today, the report (by Andrew Sutcliffe) is as follows:- :-

Ginninderra Handicap No 324 on Tue 31/08/2010

Although the conditions looked tough with a cold wind the results did not show this!. The winner Phillip Hennig not only won but set the pace in the Ron Sidnell award with a handicap finish of 44.06. Several other runners got PB's but Alistair Rogers did it again running the fastest time for five years with a 23.23. This moves Alistair to 15th on the all time list of fastest runs, that is only 14 other individuals have run faster in the past 27 years. Those in front of Alistair include Paul Sutcliffe a former 3min 51secs 1500 runner, Tony Murray who once held the world record for the M40 mile in 4min 12 secs, Rob Walter an Australian Orienteering representative and Danny O'Dea who once just missed selection for the world cross country championships by 1 meter. With Alistairs great run this month we put the challenge out yet again to the best runners in Australia or the world to come out to the Ginninderra Handicap one month an beat the record which is now nearly 23 years old. The high numbers runners were out in force as well with Jim Robers (183 runs), Philip Carruthers (170 runs) and Rad Leovic (127 runs).Officials Philip Carruthers, Andrew Sutcliffe, Doug Fry

While the handicap was being run, there were a few "runners" riding around the lake, including Ruth Baussmann, Margaret McSpadden and Roy Jones. They all stopped to say hello. And in the future the ladies may join in the run.
