Mt Majura Vineyard One Peak Challenge and Two Peaks Classic

Majura ACT

Saturday 18 November

 

Race report:

Australian mountain running representative Stuart Doyle of South Canberra-Tuggeranong Athletics Club celebrated his 40th birthday in fine style with a commanding win in today’s Mt Majura Vineyard Two Peaks Classic. Doyle clocked 1 hour 42 mins 36 secs for the arduous 26 kilometres over Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura. Australian long distance mountain running representative Trevor Jacobs of Weston Creek Athletics Club was runner up in 1:51:57, just over a minute ahead of former Australian orienteering champion Andy Hogg, who ran 1:53:02.

Australian orienteering international Jo Allison showed her fitness as first female in 2:17:53, with veteran Sue Archer second in 2:24:44 and Weston Creek Athletics Club’s Carinna Tong third in 2:26:28.

Judith May’s One Peak record fell to triathlete Jane Zeller who clocked 1:12:33 for the 15kms over Mt Majura. World rogaining champion Julie Quinn had a good tune-up for next weekend’s Triple Triathlon when she was second in 1:14:37. Former orienteering internationals Julia and Rebecca Minty tied for third in 1:19:14.

Geraint Bateman seemed headed for a strong win in the men’s One Peak but went off course after a bushwalker had turned a sign 180 degrees. He ended up 4th with former world rogaining champion David Baldwin first finisher in 1:06:48. Stephen Rohan-Jones was second in 1:17:38 and Tony Woolford third in 1:18:04. David Osmond, 6th in last year’s 24 Hour World Mountain Biking Championship, rode the 26km course in advance of the field but was not quite quick enough to check the section of the course where Bateman went astray. It is planned to start the 15kms 30 minutes later next year to prevent this problem from recurring.
