Race Report

A chunk of the start list of the Griffith Joggers shot themselves in the foot and made it easier for the remainder of the field to get the honours in race five of the Winter competition on Scenic Hill on Saturday.

Elio Minato was the first to founder as he took himself and two colleagues on a track too far, which was an unfortunate way for Elizabeth Heffer to celebrate her promotion from the zero handicap, but at least they registered times.

Worse was to come as another ten runners from the early starters took a track too short and were relegated to the rear of the field without times and recorded the minimum participation points.

This was a gift waiting to be taken for the navigationally gifted runners further back in the field and it was the leaner and hungrier Ian Forrest that snapped up first place.

Forrest had twenty seconds to spare and then the top ten were all in in barely more than another thirty seconds, with the up and down Liam Burgess firing this week at second and Adam Johnson putting in his best of the competition at third and the fastest time of the day with 25:14 for the six kilometres.

Forrest towed along Wendy Minato, Mark Harris and Gerald Yuen who all finished with high placings, and first timer Frank Dyrssen in this group also looked the goods early but his second half sagged a little.

Tracey Josling was out of the ten despite her fastest time of the day with 27:48.

First place has put Forrest up to equal leader of the pointscore with Maree Licastro with five of the nine races gone and this is where the hard work starts for the wannabees, to aim for placings and no crashes for the rest of the series.

As usual, there was plenty of variety in the short course with both old and young, walkers and runners, fast and slow, and through it all Andrew Bastianon lead the field home with thirty seconds to spare but it was tight for the remaining honours.

It is no longer any surprise to see Molly Burgess highly placed, second this week with the women's fastest time of 17:59 for the 3.3km, and Rod Bortolin leading the oldies at third and just a few seconds back.

Another few seconds and Brock Twigg finished well placed in his first run, with dad Phil a few steps behind, and at twelfth Anthony Trefilo had the fastest time of 14:23 in a now rare outing on the short course.

Plenty of juniors are taking the short course at present as preparation for school cross country races, but it is not the fitness that is the main objective as most of them are fit enough from other sports, but the big benefit is the experience.

Beginners tend to be either fast forward or pause and it takes time to build confidence, mental stamina and a steady pace when out there alone on the track, and the younger ones benefit from adult support.

The Joggers run from the green water tower each Saturday at 4:30pm with a current choice of 3km or 6km on the tracks and trails of the hill, and this week is a good chance to get a placing with quite a few out of town for major runs in Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
