New record to Jones in Mt Majura Vineyard Three Peaks

Posted onAuthorJohn Harding

Mt Majura Vineyard Three Peaks, Two Peaks and One Peak, ACT
Saturday 23 October

In the Mt Majura Vineyard Three Peaks trail run on Saturday there was a Bluett family trifecta with former World Games orienteering champion Grant Bluett and his partner Shannon Jones (pictured with vineyard owner/manager Frank Van De Loo) winning the 26 km Three Peaks, and his sister, former orienteering international Tracy Marsh, taking out the One Peak 12 kms.

Although retired from international orienteering for several years, Bluett  finished 2nd Elite Male in the Australian Sprint and Middle Distance Orienteering Championships in South Australia a few weeks ago. Despite running some extra distance on Mt Ainslie, he took out the Three Peaks in 1.54.10 from former Australian mountain running champion Anthony Scott who clocked 1.57.14, with Matt Hegarty 3rd in 2.03.16, just ahead of former world veteran mountain running champion Trevor Jacobs.

3 Peaks winners

Shannon Jones, a World Orienteering Championships representative in both 2009 and 2010, and current Australian Sprint Orienteering champion, slashed a massive 6 minutes off her 2009 winning time and course record to be fastest female and 3rd fastest outright in the Three Peaks over Mt Majura, Mt Pleasant and Mt Ainslie. She ran 2.01.44, with Australian mountain running champion Vanessa Haverd 2nd in 2.05.03 and You Yangs Ultra champion Louise Sharp 3rd in 2.11.59.

2009 cross country skiing Winter Olympian Mark Van Der Ploeg won the Two Peaks 20 kms over Mt Majura and Mt Ainslie in 1.29.50 from John Fleming in 1.30.16 and Vince Craig in 1.31.32. World long distance mountain running championship bronze medallist Angela Bateup (pictured with Van Der Ploeg) had her first race in the mountains in some time and was fastest female in 1.36.50 with Yass training partner Narelle Patrick 2nd in 1.46.47 and Kym Chisholm 3rd in 1.48.52.

2 Peaks winners

RMC runner Scott Cirakovic won the One Peak 12 kms over Mt Majura in 44.35 from Zsombor Nemeth in 58.53 and Andrew Daly in 1.00.08.

Former orienteering international Tracy Marsh, 6th in the Australian Long Distance Orienteering Championship on 2 October, had a close duel with Emma Adams before emerging the victor by 6 seconds in 1.02.55. Melissa Clarke was 3rd in 1.06.11.
