2010 Bacchus Competition - Race 1

Saturday, 6 February 2010

Today’s race was the first of the series leading up to the Easter Bacchus Fun Run which will this year be renamed in honour of our new sponsor Leo Franco Motors Nissan and Holden; we might shorten this in future to the Leo Franco MNH Bacchus. In preparation for the aforementioned race the long course will be run over a distance of 6.2 km for the first four weeks and will then extend to 10km for the remainder of the series.

Conditions were warm on Saturday with the humidity an uncomfortable 43%. Happily the heat doesn’t seem to bother some runners – Jacob Quade ran a good time off a decent handicap for the long course, coming in first ahead of Stewart Wood who positively sprinted around. Anthony Trefilo took third placing with the fastest time and John Dodd came in a very respectable fourth. There were a few new faces in the top ten this week so the handicapper might have some surprises in store for Race 2 of the competition.

Maria Sergi wasn’t running with her usual form but still summonsed enough energy to sprint past her husband near the finish of the long course. Anthony may have been regretting his decision to tackle the long course for the first time as it finishes with a punishing climb that always seems to go on a bit longer than expected. A fair proportion of the field was bunched up on this very hill at the end of the race with the slower runners on smaller handicaps being overtaken by the faster runners coming from behind. If the handicapping system is working well this is just what you would expect towards the end of a run.

In the short course Arthur Hancock ran a very fast time overtaking almost the entire field from a second to last starting position. He finished in first place with Melissa Budd and Edward Toole not far behind.

Quite a number of joggers have been busy training for the club’s inaugural half marathon to be held at the end of the month. One keen runner (?) was even spotted driving the course!

The joggers meet every Saturday at the water tower on the hill @ 5.30 pm daylight savings time.
