In today's ACT Masters Half Marathon, age group winners among the speedygeese were Helen Larmour (W45), Charmaine Knobel (W55), and Rae Palmer (W60). In the M50s, Gary Bowen ran third. There was a large turn-out, about 180 or so finishers.
Speedygeese times in the half:
Gary Bowen 1:35:21 69.69%
Geoff Moore 1:38:16 73.10
Helen Larmour 1:38:27 74.74
Kelley Flood 1:46:41 67.76
Mick Horan 1:46:41 61.30
Alan Duus 1:48:08 67.74
Rae Palmer 1:48:28 76.48
Charmaine Knobel 1:51:33 70.52
Peter Hogan 2:04:04 58.47
Adam Robinson 2:07:30 46.78
Margaret McSpadden 2:11:06 63.28
Helen and I cruising over Dunrossil Drive. We were on about 4:20s to 4:30s at that stage of the run.
I ran with Helen from 6k to 20k. The only reason I went ahead of her at 20k was to do a quick 400m burst so as to pass Jim White.
300th Ginninderra Handicap
This Tuesday the handicap reaches a milestone. It started in June 1983 and has been going almost every month since. Now it's turning 300. You may be interested in going along to be part of the event. There'll be extra prizes this month personally presented by their sponsors and the Chief Minister will be along to present the winner the trophy. To get a start time, be behind the LightHouse from 12:10pm onwards.
