Schueler's swift 2:41:26 clocking was nearly 7 minutes under the Championship best established by Marco Evoniuk just last year . Marco was not on hand to defend his title today , Heiring was only 20 seconds behind and gaining ground at the finish. Vincent O'Sullivan led three others under the three hour mark in this swift race. The master's title went to Jim Coots, who finished ninth overall . Heiring took the early lead, covering the first 5 Km in a blistering 21:51, Schueler was 6 seconds back at th is point, with Gary Morgan on his heels. O'Sullivan and Pete Timmonswere together in fourth , going through in 22 J4 . By the 10 km point, Schueler had come to even terms with Heiring, as both recorded 44:28 . Everyone else had dropped well back, with O'Sullivan third in 45 151, followed by _Timmonsand Morgan. Schueler started to pull gradually away, leading by 18 seconds as he passed 20 Xm in 1:29:55. He stretched that lead to 48 seconds by the JO Km mark, but then gave much of it away, as he slowed on the final 5. Meanwhile, O'Sullivan pulled quickly away from Timmonsand led him by 2½ minutes at the 20 Kmmark . Timmonswas able to come back, however, cutting the margin in half by JO Km, before fading again on the final 5, Results: 1.
