Yarralumla Bays Saturday 28 August 2010
Wednesday, 1 September 2010
At the previous Saturday event at Mt Majura West, Julian Dent competed to show us how it’s done, except that Oliver Poland showed him a thing or two. So at Yarralumla Bays, Julian really showed us how it’s done, zipping round the 5.7km Orange 1 course in 23 minutes 39 seconds (23:39). The next fastest, both from the junior ranks, were Oliver Poland at 28:06 and Andrew Barnett at 28:43.
In the 4km Orange 2 course, the fastest was Ewan Barnett at 29:15 followed by Drew Collins in the Masters ranks at 30:20. The fastest Orange 2 woman was Kate Bowen at 32:17 then Anna Hyslop at 32:41. Hayden Sasso took the honours in the Green course at 20:44 and Zoe Hanson was the fastest ‘Green’ woman at 26:11. In the Blue course, Josh Silk-Jones was the fastest at 13:25 and Riley Lane the fastest woman at 18:10.
The Yarralumla Bays event was the final Saturday event for 2010. Presentations for the Junior League competition were made at the end of the event.
