VETRUNNER Email: [email protected] ISSN 1449-8006 Vol. 26 Issue 10 — March, 2006 IN DEFENCE OF CAMPBELL PARK Your handicap reporter, Jenny Walton, describes the first handicap of the new season that was run over the Campbell Park course.

Any left over Christmas cheer was worked off at the first monthly handicap held on the somewhat rain gouged track at Campbell Park. A total of 189 people participated across the three Series. All Series were on an out and back course, with the Thomas a 6km and the Frylink and Waddell 3km. The next handicap is being held at the North Curtain course on February 19. It is being held a week early to allow for the weekend of Track and Field Championships which is being held over 25 and 26 February. Just on quick personal note, this will be my last write-up. As I have decided to do some further study I wont have the time. I would like to thank everyone I spoke to in the process of writing the stories and have enjoyed talking to you all. A big thanks goes to Jim O’Donnell for his The Thomas Series. The honours in the longer race at Campbell Park went to, help and guidance since I started doing from the left, Ewan Brown the silver medal, the winner Peter Sinfield got his first these write-ups. If anyone has some taste of success in the handicaps and Peter McDonald took the bronze medal. spare time to help Jim out with the monthly write-ups or any other aspect of the Vetrunner production, I’m sure he would be most grateful. The bronze medal was won by Peter McDonald (M50) in a net time of 29.06 minutes with a per km rate of 4.51 Thomas Series from a group 21 start.

A motivational tale ATHLETIC CLUB GEOFF BARKER took time out to travel to Gosford with a number of ACTVAC runners and walkers to take part in the 12 hour event in Supported by January. Here are his impressions on how that event went and the aftermath.

I think it all started as a bit of a joke really. Another Walking Club committee meeting had finished and we were having the customary glass in the bar to wind down. I was wearing my “International Friendship Run” T shirt which had a symbol of the world and four doves flying around it. A pole vaulting champion asked me if I was religious. After trying to work out exactly what answer she wanted and avoiding answering directly she said that if I wanted to “run for friendship” I should do the 12hr run/walk, that it is in a good cause (Victor Chang Heart Research), a few from Canberra were already doing it and they could do with the support etc. I replied that I was not into religious or friendship but stupidity. Over the next few weeks the issue was raised on several occasions and I actually began to wonder things like, ‘Could I go for 12hrs in one go’?, ‘If so how would I handle 12hrs straight?’, ‘Psychologically what would happen?’, ‘How far would I be able to go?’, ‘What would I think about?’, and so the questions kept coming. All the time I was getting gentle persuasion from the pole vaulting champion, and one of Australia’s best known race walkers and a holder of many records started also gently telling me in strong terms that I should do it. I decided to sit down and have a sensible discussion with common sense. In the end stupidity won out. I somehow became convinced it would be a good challenge, and besides a free T shirt was part of the deal! Before I realised it I sent off my entry for the 2006 Gosford Coastal Classic 12hr Run/Walk. I made the decision to run, taking the view that I could always slow down to (Continued on Page 31)

M60 Robin Whyte 11.27 Back on the track we had two events in operation at the same time, due M60 Rod Gilchrist 13.16 M65 Terry Munro 13.25 to a delay that came about due to the two steeplechase events.

The W65 Val Chesterton 14.44 race at first was somewhat competitive with Lachlan Wilkinson leading W65 Terri Jones (FW) 16.06 Robin Whyte and Carol Baird right behind them.

Heat 4 was the “second division” of the elite men that saw Geoff M40 Michael Rutter 25.73 82.5 M45 Leo Kennedy 25.05 87.1 Sims a reasonably comfortable winner from Chris Edwards and Ken Smith.

Age Name Perf Age% M30 Brad Osborn 31.2 68.4 I would presume that to fix the M30 Robert Gerrard 32.9 64.9 server problem would be to reattach M35 Craig Edwards 32.0* 68.1 the cable from the server to the set- M65 Don Fraser 34.6 84.0 W55 Margaret Taylor 40.7 74.8 up computer. Easier said than done 400m as there is a myriad of wires under Age Name Perf Age% the desk and neither Doug nor I M35 Ken Telfer 54.2 84.0 could have had any idea which was M40 Michael Roden 51.0 90.5 M40 Colin Farlow 57.3 82.7 the relevant cable to re-connect. M40 Geoff Monro 1:04.4 71.6 Still the meet got off in time and M40 Dale Moore 1:05.1 72.8 the 3000m runners were sent on M40 Peter Cullen 1:05.2 71.7 M40 Bryce Anderson 1:07.1 70.6 their way by Mike Adler, though as M45 Mick Horan 57.7 83.3 it was really hot at 6pm quite a few M45 Leo Kennedy 59.7 81.4 runners decided to give it a miss M45 Doug Taupin 1:06.4 79.6 M45 Richard Faulks 1:00.3 79.7 this week, still there were 16 men Numero Uno. Geoff Monro seems pretty M45 Dave McClelland 1:06.4 72.9 and two women who braved the confident that he is in fact number one. M50 Phil White 58.7 84.9 M50 Ken White 1:03.0 79.7 conditions. Those harsh conditions M55 Geoff Sims 1:00.1 87.0 didn’t seem to bother newcomer Raoul Luescher as he took off like a scalded cat M60 Mike Worsley 1:24.3 65.4 and by the first two hundred metres had established a bit of a gap, though Geoff M60 Geoff Barker 1:39.3 58.0 M65 Tony Booth 1:14.1 77.4 Monro did try to keep up with Raoul but after the first lap he must have felt the M75 Michael Freer 1:30.6 70.5 pressure and dropped back to run his own race. Raoul never lessened that early M75 John Burns 1:42.3 62.5 pace and went on to post one of the best 3000m performances we have seen at W35 Ellen Lloyd 1:15.1 66.6 W45 Vicki Matthews 1:11.8 75.3 track this season as he crossed the line in 10.02 almost half a minute ahead of W55 Jill Brown 1:18.1 75.7 Paul Considine who easily saw off the tiring Geoff Monro who just managed to W70 Consie Larmour 1:33.4 74.1 hang onto that third spot from the fast finishing Ross Gregg. In other age Pole Vault groups M50 Nick Blackaby was challenged for the first time in few weeks as Age Name Perf Age% M30 Simon Carmichael 1.25 20.3 Jamie Macgregor joined the opening race, however Jamie was a bit out of shape M35 Craig Edwards 1.73 30.1 and faded before the half way mark leaving Nick to take out another age group High Jump win. Age Name Perf Age% In the M55s Robbie Costmeyer was home first ahead of Alan Williams and M30 Simon Carmichael 1.55 64.3 M45 Roger Pilkington 1.30 64.7 Ken Eynon who was back at track for the first time this year. Bernie Millett, M45 Ewen Thompson 1.25 62.8 now an M60, easily took out the age group finishing well ahead of Mike Long Jump Worsley, John Alcock and Geoff Barker. Only two women braved the hot Age Name Perf Age% M30 Simon Carmichael 5.48 61.2 conditions where Carol Baird was quite a bit ahead of Barbara Tucker at the M30 Brad Osborn 4.88 55.2 race end. M50 Antoni Podolak 4.21 62.3 With most of the throwers back from attending the Oceania Masters M50 Nick Blackaby 3.05 44.5 M60 Kevin Chapman 2.04 34.6 Championships there was more interest in the throwing events this week. The M65 Don Fraser 4.89 87.3 hammer was the first field event on the card this week with 10 competitors M70 Ray Bramwell 3.29 62.1 having a go at throwing the ball with a wire handle and as is usual some W45 Vicki Matthews 3.70 62.0 W55 Margaret Taylor 4.43 87.0 competitors threw heavier weighted hammers than others. W55 Helen Topor 2.76 55.0 With Ray Green and Jayne Hardy back in action the test for others was to W65 Val Chesterton 2.52 55.5 get in heaves further trying to beat them, but the reality is more often than not W70 Consie Larmour 2.72 64.5 ACT rec they can’t beat them in either distance or the AST percentages. Ray was the W75 Gwen Gleeson 2.23 57.6 only male in the field that got the ball out beyond 40m. David Haggith was Hammer second overall and Alex Turbin third. Ewen Drummond was fourth overall and Age Name Perf M50 David Haggith 34.82 also taking out his age group. M55 Alex Turbin 27.94 In the women’s throw Jayne Hardy joined her mentor Ray in getting in a M60 Ray Green 42.00 heave over 40m. There was quite a contest for the second best throw overall M60 Robin Whyte 22.25 M80 Ewen Drummond 26.00 between Sharon Gibbins and Jan Banens, in the end Jan got up with her best W40 Jayne Hardy 41.33 throw about a metre and a half ahead of Sharon. Jen Bourke won the W65s and W45 Sharon Gibbins 35.33 Mary Wahren the W70s. W60 Jan Banens 36.98 W65 Jen Bourke 23.41 Back at the track it was time for the “Blue Ribbon” event, the sprint over W70 Mary Wahren 19.20 100m, this week it doubled-up as a Boag event. The men and women Boag Javelin Trophies is spread over several weeks on the season in sprint races as well as Age Name Perf the hurdles. M30 Brad Osborn 33.33 M35 Peter Jugovic 35.43 In the first heat, we had our first record on the night. It came from the M45 Roger Pilkington 23.81 diminutive Gwen Gleeson when she ran a 20.3 to break her own W75 mark by M50 David Haggith 31.68 three tenths. Margaret Taylor won that heat very narrowly from Vicki M55 Alex Turbin 23.42 M60 Ray Green 33.54 Matthews with Jill Brown a couple of seconds back. The second record breaking M60 Robin Whyte 27.02 run came in the second heat with Don Fraser winning by almost three seconds Page 12 — March Vetrunner to break the 13.4 M65 mark held jointly between himself and Jack Thackray by four tenths. The third heat went to Craig Edwards beating Phil White and Geoff Sims. The ‘guns’ took to the track in the final heat with what at first looked like Ken Telfer was going to take the win from Micheal Roden. Ken was well ahead about ten metres from the finish line, but Michael was winding up and got up right on the line, both were given the same time, but there was no doubt that Michael was the winner. Leo Kennedy was third in that heat just ahead of Richard Gerrard. The javelin and shot were the other events on the card to attract the throwers. Covering the javelin first, Don Fraser, no doubt the adrenalin flowing from his ACT record in the 100m sprint got in a beauty to take the competition’s best overall from newcomer Peter Jugovic by about half a metre leaving Ray Green to defend third spot just ahead of Brad Osborn. Other age group winners included M50 David Haggith, M55 Alex Turbin and M70 Ray Bramwell. Six throwers were vying for the best throw of the meet, but I’m sure that with Jayne Hardy in attendance they more than likely would have to settle for the runners-up spots. And that’s how it turned out, Jayne winning by a ‘mile’ from Jen Bourke and Sharon Gibbins. Age group marks also went to W50 Carmen Carlon, W60 Jan Banens and W70 Mary Wahren. Making a debut. Helen Torpor taking Twelve turned out for the shot where it again was “whose going to come part in the race walk for the first time this second to Jayne Hardy”. Getting those runners-up places were, in order, season. Sharon Gibbins and Jan Banens. Carmen Carlon got another first in the W50s M60 Bernie Millett 24.48 as did Mary Wahren in the W70s with Jen Bourke the winner in the W65s. M60 Kevin Chapman 13.99 Back on the track the 1500m runners were getting themselves sorted out in M65 Don Fraser 36.06 the heats. Despite the heat 24 runners took part in the three heats. The first M70 Ray Bramwell 21.56 W40 Jayne Hardy 34.01 one went to Gary Bowen well ahead of Zel Bodulovic who was making his debut W45 Sharon Gibbins 19.32 in the vets competition. Third in that first heat was Jim White. The second W50 Carmen Carlon 7.57 heat went to Bryce Anderson again quite easily from Geoff Moore and Mick W60 Jan Banens 18.01 W65 Jen Bourke 22.44 Saunders. The quickest heat was taken out by John Morton. John hardly W70 Mary Wahren 17.90 looked like he was going to get a win as at the bell he was at least 30m behind Shot Geoff Munro. However, as Geoff came into the final straight he was under Age Name Perf challenge from John and with fifty metres to go it was all over as John surged M50 David Haggith 10.58 M55 Alex Turbin 12.07 past a very tiring Geoff who was lucky to hold off third spot from the fast M60 Ray Green 12.22 finishing Mick Horan. Other age group wins came from M50 Michael Leahey, M60 Robin Whyte 7.57 M65 Attila Spaits 9.68 M55 Kevin Chamberlain, M60 Richard Hilhorst and M65 Roger Abbott. Only M80 Ewen Drummond 7.67 two women faced the starter for the event with Lea Edwards too good for her W40 Jayne Hardy 10.24 fellow W35 compatriot Lisa Wilson. W45 Sharon Gibbins 8.80 W50 Carmen Carlon 4.16 Maybe Lisa spent all her bickies in the 3000m walk where she was third W60 Jan Banens 8.08 over the line in what was a Perry Handicap race. The top points went to Mick W65 Jen Bourke 7.77 Saunders ahead of John Donovan. John as most would have known is only W70 Mary Wahren 5.95 walking as he recovers from back disc problems which means he has to walk 3000m Age Name Perf Age% with the aid of a walking stick. Don’t know about his knees but at least the M35 Raoul Luescher 10:02 76.8 walking stick was straight. The best net time came from Robin Whyte ahead of M40 Geoff Monro 11:20 69.0 Lisa Wilson and Mark Worrall. M40 Don Smith 12:17 65.5 M45 Paul Considine 10:28 78.0 Before going on to report on the final three track races of the meet, it is M45 Ross Gregg 11:21 71.4 time take on the jump, three of them again this week. M45 Gary Bowen 12:28 66.5 Only two takers in the pole vault with Craig Edwards taking on Simon M45 Mark Worrall 14:42 55.1 M50 Nick Blackaby 15:44 54.0 Carmichael and finishing up some fifty centimetres ahead. M50 Jamie Macgregor 17:42 48.0 Surprisingly not many in the high jump either, even though this is one of M55 Robbie Costmeyer 12:08 75.0 the favourite events for jumpers. It went like this, Simon Carmichael jumped M55 Alan Williams 13:24 67.3 M55 Ken Eynon 14:11 64.2 1.55, Roger Pilkington 1.30 and Ewen Thompson 1.25. M60 Bernie Millett 12:18 77.7 Eight men and five women took part the third jump this week, the long. M60 Mike Worsley 13:14 71.5 The top contest in the men’s group was between Simon Carmichael and Robert M60 John Alcock 13:51 66.3 M60 Geoff Barker 14:29 64.0 Gerrard with Robert landing a pretty good 1.60 some 12 centimetres ahead at W55 Carol Baird 13:45 73.7 the finish. Also up there in the high four metre position were Don Fraser and W55 Barbara Tucker 15:38 65.5 Brad Osborn, Don winning by a centimetre. In other age groups the M50s went 1500m Age Name Perf Age% to Antoni Podoak and the M70s to Ray Bramwell. For the women Margaret M40 Geoff Monro 4:47.1 76.3 Taylor showed she hasn’t lost the art of the jumps when she easily won the M40 Dale Moore 4:49.8 77.9 overall top jump ahead of Vicki Matthews with Helen Topor third. The W65s M40 Don Smith 5:09.2 73.0 M40 Bryce Anderson 5:33.9 67.6 went to Val Chesterton and the W70s to Consie Larmour with a record M40 Zel Bodulevic 5:50.7 63.4 breaking, her own, leap of 2.72 an improvement of eight centimetres. M45 John Morton 4:42.1 81.8 With the middle distance runners just having enough time to catch their M45 Mick Horan 4:47.5 79.7 M45 Dave McClelland 5:18.9 72.4 breath it was time for the 400m. Quite a good turnout that took five heats to M45 Gary Bowen 5:32.2 70.0 get all the starters accommodated. Heat 1 went to Mike Worsley well ahead of M45 Roger Pilkington 5:57.1 64.6 March Vetrunner — Page 13

M45 Ewen Thompson 6:14.3 62.2 Michael Freer and Geoff Barker. Heat 2 the smallest of the five, Tony Booth M50 Michael Leahey 4:57.9 80.7 M50 Jamie Macgregor 8:31.5 46.6 needed one of his super finishes to beat Ellen Lloyd coming up the final straight M55 Kevin Chamberlain 5:12.7 81.7 with Jill Brown third. Heat 3 saw the win going to Ken White showing his good M55 Geoff Moore 5:41.2 73.5 form of recent weeks leaving Geoff Munro in second spot again. Dale Moore was M55 Mick Saunders 5:42.4 74.0 M55 Jim White 6:00.4 69.0 third in the heat. Heat 4 was quite even as they went down the back straight M55 Ken Eynon 6:36.3 64.5 but Mick Horan, a slimmer version of the one we saw at the beginning of the M60 Richard Hilhorst 6:04.8 73.6 season, started to turn on the power in the last 100m winning easily from M60 Mike Worsley 6:25.5 69.0 M65 Roger Abbott 6:27.7 72.4 Richard Faulks and Doug Taupin. The final heat included the guns of the likes W35 Lea Edwards 5:50.9 67.8 of Michael Roden and Ken Telfer with Colin Farlow, Phil White, Leo Kennedy W35 Lisa Wilson 7:33.2 53.3 and Geoff Sims were pushing all the way. But in the end it was between W50 Kathy Sims 6:00.6 77.3 Medley Relay (2x200m, 1x400m, 1x800m) Michael and Ken, then in the last 50 there was no doubt that Michael was going Age Name Perf to win, with others watch from track side pushing him all the way to the line to M55 Patrick Stakelum get under the 51 seconds. Sadly for Michael he didn’t manage to get under his M45 Richard Faulks M45 Dave McClelland target but he didn’t go over it either and with both of the timekeepers watches M50 Phil White 4:29.6 stopping at 50.9 plus meaning under hand held time conventions that it had to M40 Don Smith be rounded up to 51 seconds even. This is the third time in a row that Michael M45 John Morton W40 Jayne Hardy has run that time. W45 Vicki Matthews 4:33.6 Over the past couple of weeks there seems to be a reluctance of runners to M30 Robert Gerrard take part in hurdle events. Well this week all of a sudden we had five names on M35 Craig Edwards M45 Gary Bowen the start list for the 200m hurdles. Quite a good race seemed on the cards with M50 Ken White 4:54.9 a couple of M30s, an M35 and M65 and a W55. Brad Osborn, one of the M30s 3000m Walk Perry Hcp took the winners plaudits from M35 Craig Edwards with the other M30 Robert Name Name Net Perf W55 Helen Topor 24.41 Gerrard third. Don Fraser was only tenths outside of his M65 ACT record, with M35 John Donovan 23.08 Margaret Taylor following a few seconds behind. M45 Mark Worrall 18.23 The relays this season have been the surprise package attracting five or six M55 Alan Williams 19.13 M55 Mick Saunders 21.00 teams each session. However, just before that start of the relay, a medley of M60 Robin Whyte 17.35 2x200m, 1x400m and 1x800m, there were only five names on the list. After an M60 Rod Gilchrist 20.25 announcement to get another three runners to make up at least one team M60 Geoff Barker 21.36 M60 Tony Andrews 23.07 another eight runners came forward making up three teams. The winning M65 Terry Munro 21.04 quartet comprised Pat Stakelum, Richard Faulks, Dave McClelland and Phil M70 Bob Chapman 21.13 White whi came from behind to take the win ahead of Don Smith, John Morton, W35 Lisa Wilson 17.21 W55 Carol Baird 18.26 Jayne Hardy and Vicki Matthews. Robert Gerrard, Craig Edwards, Garry W55 Barbara Tucker 19.39 Bowen and Ken White finished third.

ACTVAC’s roving race caller - Robert An intrepid few ACTVAC athletes popped over to Kennelly, farewelling his niece who was catching the same Christchurch in January to compete at the Oceania flight as us to NZ. Ray had already realised he had left his Masters Athletics Championships. Here are some less or camera, binoculars and toiletries behind. Raylea Rudov more serious matters. was to go one better by having her bag placed on the Getting there is always a challenge. It was several wrong flight. She arrived nickerless at the Camelot Motor weeks after I had paid for the flights that I found out I Lodge (some of you may remember that Jayne Hardy was could have long service leave to go - phew! nick-named “Javine the nickerless” at the nationals in Ray Green and I flew from Sydney, and who should we Adelaide, as she had forgotten her underwear). Qantas did supply Raylea with T-shirt, shorts and toiletries for the inconvenience. Raylea also couldn’t find her Aussie uniform, so borrowed a ‘70s model. Jayne managed to delight the NZ customs officers by trying to import a sheepskin. Sheepskins to New Zealand? That, along with spikes, hessian bag and farm boots, kept the customs busy. Ray and I were driven from the airport in a van to pick up our car. We stopped at a roundabout, when I heard the ute behind us tooting. I turned around to watch one of my bags fly out from the van and land on the road. The driver of the ute calmly got out and picked up my bag, following until we stopped. Happens every day! Next day we wandered up the road and found a local market. I felt faint (jet-lag) and was lured to a stand serving “tea and scons with jem and crim” for $2- great deal. We cleaned them out. Next was a trip to the ground where we started to do some training. We were wondering why people were walking around with clipboards, when we found out that it was actually a Saturday competition. Ray pulled a calf muscle! Back at Camelot Jayne pulled out her table tennis set. It was a bit unfortunate for those of us who didn’t have magnifying glasses as the bats were only 5cms across. We The trifecta. Our W60 women on the podium in the hammer, soon fished out some saucepans to use as bats, but the ball from the left Raylea Rudov silver, Jan Banens gold and Trish was only 2cms wide! Thomas bronze.
