Page 8 — October 2008 Vetrunner T shirt

Otmar Dorfer was the 19 th person to be presented with a T shirt for 200 monthly runs. Otmar had a successful background in international skiing as an administrator and technical expert and his contribution to skiing was acknowledged by being awarded the Australia Sports Medal in 2000.

Otmar was originally a long distance runner then became more interested in sprinting and middle distance running but because of injuries in recent years has become a walker. His first handicap was on the old East Basin course in January 1987. Originally all Otmar’s runs were in the long course but for the last four years have been in the Waddell Series. When he changed to the walk handicaps he enjoyed much success and in early 2005 by winning two gold and two bronze medals in consecutive months. Otmar was also formerly a regular participant in our track and field program.

Otmar has also completed in 10 ACT Veter- ans’ Half Marathons, three of which were as an Otmar Dorfer cracks the 200 barrier M70. In 1987 at the World Championships in Melbourne Otmar ran his only marathon as an M55 in a time of 3.32.

Can You Help ?

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, arguable perhaps, but few would disagree that they do add value to our Vetrunner and this is where your help is needed.

Vetrunner needs folk who:

1. Can act as official photographer at events when our regulars are unavailable, 2. Informally take and submit photos to build the pool available for publication (as an on-course marshal you could be ideally placed to capture the action) and 3. Bring along their digital camera, just in case.

What's that I hear you say... " love to help but I'm no photographer and my camera is only a basic point and shoot"! Vetrunner is not a photographic magazine, high end multi-mega pixel equipment and arty images are not our game (Vetrunner images are typically less than 0.5 megapixels or 80K jpegs).

The primary role of an 'official' photographer is to take portraits of event winners, action shots of the day are a bonus. So, if you own a camera and can take family snapshots you can help.

It is said that the most memorable photos of all times were the fuzzy silhouette-like images of the first moon landing - the take home message is ... a photo of the moment beats no photo every time. If you can help us by adding your name to a list of available photographers or want to know more please get in touch with either:

Running Club for the opportunity to run in your recent Very Best Regards, half marathon this past August.

(The course was certainly no push over, it had some challenging hills).

I belong to [a] small running club in Fredericksburg Vir- ginia, just south of Washington DC in the USA (Fredericksburg Area Running Club - http:// www.runfarc.com/) and your club had that same feel of a group of good friends that enjoy each others company and who are all supportive of each others accomplishments. It was just good fortune that I was in Canberra for the week on business for the United Nations and came across the announcement for your half marathon on the web. It fit perfectly into my training schedule for the New York City Marathon this coming November.
