Fine Australian Championship tune up for Bateup up Mt Rob Roy
Yass runner Angela Bateup tuned up for the Australian Mountain Running Championships in Victoria on 7 June with a record breaking win in the 18 km Mt Rob Roy Challenge from historic Lanyon homestead. Bateup, 3rd in the World Long Distance Mountain Running Championship in England last year, ran 1.22.18 for the 18 kms out and back to shave 9 seconds from Vanessa Haverd’s record.
Haverd, the 2008 and 2009 Six Foot Track winner, just ran the 9 km to the summit in her comeback from injury, clocking 50.47 to Bateup’s 48.18. The third female to the summit, Emily Lamrock, was passed on the return journey by Elizabeth Humphries who ran 1.32.03, with Lamrock next in 1.32.37.
Brindabella Classic champion David Hosking took the first 5 kms much easier than he did in last year’s race over the course and then powered his way to personal bests of 44.36 to the summit and 1.17.56 for the return journey. Former Australian champion David Osmond managed to hold off course record holder Trevor Jacobs to finish second in 1.20.33, with Jacobs third in 1.21.55.
