Tour de Ridges
Farrer Ridge, Mt Wanniassa, Wanniassa Hills and Isaacs Ridge
Mawson ACT
Sunday 18 December 2016
Weather: Perfect! Fine, overcast, cloudy, 10 degrees at the start rising to 16 degrees mid-morning. This was in stark contrast to last year when it was much warmer, with a 30 degree + top temperature in the afternoon.
James Minto took advantage of the cool conditions to better his personal best in the half marathon by more than 3 minutes in taking out the race in 1.27.02 after a close tussle with international stair racing star Mark Bourne, who is the 2016 Australian mountain running champion, and international orienteer Tomas Krajca. There was a very strong women’s field with Eimear O’ Brien running 1.42.11 to be a minute ahead of Canberra Times fun run champion Fleur Flanery and English international orienteers Charlotte Watson and Katie Reynolds.
Jonathan Escalante-Phillips blitzed the 15.3 km run in an outstanding 59.46. Well known ABC journalist Hannah Walmsley ran 1.12.34 to pip Australian junior orienteering rep Tara Melhuish by a mere 5 seconds, with Sarah Jane Miller only a minute further in arrears.
Matthew Zeitlhofer backed up from winning the Deep Space 10 km to take out the 10.6 km run in 43.30, with Lance Purdon and Isaac Muscat runners up.
There was also a high quality women’s field in the 10.6 km with ACT rep Dominique Ferguson winning in 48.32, 2 minutes ahead of Natasha Beck and Emily Hill one minute further back.
