CRANE SMASHES COURSE RECORD IN ORIENTEERING TOUR DE FORCE
British international orienteer Matt Crane, a member of the Canberra Cockatoos orienteering team, set a scorching pace from the start of the 20 km run and lowered Alex Matthews’ course record by 3 minutes in clocking 1.15.21. The next 3 finishers were also members of the Cockatoos. Chris Helliwell ran 1.20.53 for second, a 10 minute improvement on his Australia Day run over the course. Third placed Lachlan Dow, a multiple Australian representative at the World Junior Orienteering Championships, ran 1.23.15, while Gareth Candy, former High Performance Director of the British Orienteering Federation, was 4th in 1.25.14.
Annalore Vandierendonck from Outward Bound was fastest female in 1.33.15. Grace Crane, the 2012 Australian Sprint, Middle and Long Distance Orienteering champion was second in 1.34.22, and former orienteering international Belinda Allison finished 3rd in 1.39.11, a one minute personal best.
The most outstanding veteran performers were M60 Trevor Jacobs who ran 1.34.43, and W60 Susan Archer who ran 1.44.57.
David Clarke was fastest male in the 8k run in 36.18, a new record by 3 minutes, from Geordan Murray in 36.34 and Richard Mailey in 45.28. Australian mountain running representative Elizabeth Humphries smashed the women’s course record by an incredible 8 minutes and men’s record by 5 minutes in winning the 8 km outright in 34.00. Youngster Olivia Martin had a brilliant run as well in clocking 36.28 for second, also well under the old record. Amy Osbourne was third in 40.27.
Six year old Tristan Borghoutts was a comfortable winner of the 3k in 19.09.
In the walks Geoff Barker walked an outstanding 2.35.35 for the 20 km, 2 minutes outside his own course record, while fellow M65 Rod Gilchrist slashed a massive 27 minutes off the 8 km walk record with a sizzling 57.31, half a minute ahead of Michael Burt on 58.01.
