“THE SURVIVORS OF RAROTONGA”
SHARON GIBBINS writes
about her exploits in the Cook
Islands, calling them “The
Survivors of Rarotonga” (or the
exploits of Veteran athletes at the
Oceania Championships).
The journey
Ray Green, Sharon Gibbins, Joyce
and Tom Schmidt knew they were off
to a good start when the taxi to the
airport was 40 minutes late. It was
booked but they don’t tell the drivers
until 10 minutes before, so after Ray
rang and angrily demanded to know
where the taxi was they put out a
message to pick up panicking people
to catch a plane!
Finally on the plane and the pilot
announced he was taking us to
Christchurch. Funny, our tickets said
Auckland.
Garry Maher also started well by
leaving his mobile on the plane from
Canberra to Sydney, so he had to race
back across the tarmac to save it.
Good training. Bob Banens wore two
sun hats to ward off the rain in
Sydney and Auckland. Anyway we did
arrive safely at 3am in Rarotonga,
and piled into mini-buses which could
hardly move with the weight of the
luggage.
Island transport
The vehicular transport on
Rarotonga was a highlight. Garry and
Co hired a small car which managed
to fit six if one person lay across the
laps of those on the back seat, with
arms and legs out the windows. Trish
and Bryan Thomas hired a three
wheeled bubble car which looked and
sounded like a lawn mower, had no
reverse and was often seen being
pushed rather than driven. They had

The recent report into Athletics
Australia (AA) – the Elliott Reportmade 128 recommendations about the
conduct of athletics (chiefly AA) in
Australia. Of that 128, at my count, 65
were concerned with high performance,
or to put it bluntly, the hunt for gold
medals. Other recommendations
concerned the restructure of State
Athletics Associations and their clubs,
as well as revamping AA’s internal
financial mechanisms.
I have reported before that two
recommendations concerned Veterans/
Masters athletics. One was to disband
the Australian Athletics Federation
(AAF) – No.120, and the other was to
subsume Australian Masters Athletics
and the other Australian Athletics
organizations into AA – No. 121. It is
notable that the professionals were not
included in this recommendation. They
received specific mention – No. 125concerning a single registration system
with AA.
Recommendations 120 and 121
have been soundly rejected by the
organizations concerned, including AA.
Avenues are being sought to make the
AAF viable. The Elliott report was
damning in its assessment of the AAF
criticising it for the lack of leadership
shown by those with carriage of it –
“National planing, at AA or AAF levels,
failed to eventuate.” (See Issue #20).
Unfortunately Elliott missed the
RAY’S SHOT
opportunity to create the organization
that could run all athletics in
Australia. AA doesn’t deserve it. 30
years ago they rejected the creation of
Veterans/Masters athletics under AA.
So we created our own organisation. At
roughly the same time they rejected
fun runs and the plethora of different
athletics pursuits that evolved from the
social revolution of the 1960s. That
superior attitude is still evident in the
Elliott report.
Elliott’s report could have
recommended that AAF take over
athletics in Australia, with the Board
of AA becoming the board of AAF. I am
certain that even ALA would have
welcomed that. Of course under that
structure ASC funding for Australian
athletics might need to be distributed
differently, perhaps more equitably.
One lives in hope.
Our 2004/5 committee has been
operational for just over six months. It
has continued to create the conditions
for good club management and has
undertaken a number of initiatives to
sustain continuing development.
Recently the club gained $3,000 in
grants for programs from Sport and
Recreation. Our triennial funding of
$14,000 per year continues. Roy Jones
has completed a sports First Aid
course. Kathy Sims has been appointed
our Anti-doping officer and with Roy
will attend an ASDA course in
February.
Phil Toomey and Sharon Gibbons
are reviewing all club policies. The
committee is looking at website
renewal under the 2003/4 committee’s
decision, adopted at the AGM, to
allocate $4,000 to the task. We have
joined the ACT Good Sports program,
an initiative of the ACT government.
Policies and policy guidelines are being
developed in many areas such as
Honorariums.
I want to thank all members of the
Committee for their hard work and
support over the past six months.
Sharon Gibbins, Phil Toomey, David
Haggith, Stuart Reid, Maria O’Reilly,
Kathy Sims, Amanda Walker, Alex
Lloyd, Peter Freeman – take a bow.
And to all the sub-committees –
thank you. Your work provides the
backbone for the club’s success.
And huge congratulations to Lisa
Wilson, our first ACT Masters
Sportsperson of the Year! Well done
Lisa and thoroughly deserved.
Finally I want to wish everyone a
safe, peaceful and happy time over the
next few weeks as we welcome the
festive season and the new year and
hope that it continues with you for the
whole year.

“THE SURVIVORS OF
RAROTONGA”
(Continued from Page 1)
a truck overtake them on the right as
they were turning right, and a dog
attacked the bubble car – probably
thought it was a wild animal. Many
of us hired scooters. To hire one we
needed to obtain a licence. Sharon
Gibbins went for hers, having not
ridden a motor bike for over 20 years.
The police woman instructed six of us
to ride around the block while she
followed. As Sharon hesitantly rode
down the main street fellow athletes
waved, and one jumped out to take a
photo. Sharon who was in the lead
was distracted by this. The PC then
pulled up and said she had to go
faster! Sharon then missed the street
back to the police station. She still
got her $10 licence. With Sharon
driving and Ray Green on pillion
they closely shaved a palm tree (Ray
disputes this, saying it was an eight
foot ditch). Mary Thomas also
mistook the accelerator for the brake
and crashed with two Cook Islanders
falling on top of her. She was worried
about scratching the tail light when
it was pointed out that she had
almost ripped off the headlight. Mary
was well grazed – arms and legs.
Where she fell is now one of the
famous flesh spots of the Cook Is.
Denise Palmer had a search party
out for her, when she crashed. An
exhaust burn was her reward. Noone wears helmets and the open road
limit is 60km/hr, someone admitted
to going 70km/hr. Hairy.
Adventuring
Ray and Sharon walked over the
island, which has a few mountains on
it. A guide is highly recommended.
They found out why. At the Needle, a
high point of the island was a sign
post minus the sign. Yes, you
guessed it, they took the wrong path.
They followed a pipeline along the
ridge and were going down hill.
Admittedly there were some difficult,
slippery spots, but it wasn’t too bad
until the track started going uphill.
The pipeline continued so they
continued. They came to a dead end
at the top of a 60 degree peak.
Turning back was hair raising.
Sharon’s hands had blisters where
she was hanging on to the tree roots.
There was a 200 metre drop each
side and room for only half a foot
beside the pipe. Her knees shook
with the strain. A few metres back
they found another track. They
conquered the wilds of Rarotonga.
Later, after hearing of these exploits
Bob Watson, Beth Radley, Ray
Cluett, Deb Willis and Denise went
with Pa, the guide. He does the four
hour trek with bare feet and
dreadlocks every second day.
Consie Larmour, Dawn Thomas
and Fran Harris and Sharon on
separate days went to the most
spectacular island – Aitutaki. A must
if you go to the Cook Islands. It’s
magical.
More Mishaps
Bob Banens had locked the keys
in the boot at the ground, and went
off to compete. Meanwhile the others
managed to get a spare key. Bob was
not told of this, and accepted offers of
ferrying back to the hotel on the
scooters. Ray went off to pick the
lock, so Garry had to sprint off to
stop Ray. We still haven’t told Bob
that there was a spare key.
Jayne Hardy (yes, she
remembered her undies this time)
had an incorrect booking from
Auckland to Sydney the day before
the flight from Rarotonga to
Auckland. She saw this early and
changed the dates. Ralyea Rudov
wasn’t so lucky, as she had the same
mistake and didn’t find out until she
got to Auckland so had to pay extra.
Jan Davies went snorkelling for
the first time. She was worried when
she was being chased by two blue
fish. Fortunately her blue reef shoes
didn’t have teeth.
Digestive problems
Mary Thomas, the avid fisher
went outside the reef surrounding
Rarotonga on a boat. Her enjoyment
was curtailed by her heaving. We
hope the triathlete swimming behind
the boat didn’t drink the water.

SHARON GIBBINS writes about a
“Coup in the Cook Islands” (or an
inside roving report on the
shenanigans
during
the
production of the wedding
between Bob Banens and Jan
Davies that was held in the Cook
Islands, on October, 23 or maybe it
was the 25th, 2004.
Pre-Nups
As usual the ACTVAC crew
managed to make this occasion into
something special.
There was the usual forethought
and planning that precedes any
wedding.
Jan and Bob decided they would
have their wedding and honeymoon in
the Cook Islands.
They tried to book a celebrant, and
the occasion, prior to arrival.
However, in the usual Cook Islands
manner, the authorities said “don’t
worry, be happy, you can fix it when
you get here”. Bob and Jan had to
have faith in the authorities, for
whom else could they turn to?
On arrival Bob and Jan shot off to
arrange the licence and the celebrant.
They weren’t worried about the venue
as they thought they’d settle in first.
They had to wait three days before
they could be legally wed. I hear that
$50 secured the licence.
Then there was the wedding dress.
Jan spotted an island design in the
brochures, so she ordered an elegant
hand made, floral printed dress in
pale blue and white. Bob went for an
off-the–rack shirt in a royal blue
floral print and teamed it with beige
trousers.
Well, the crew couldn’t just let
them be married on the beach at
sunset. It had to be an extravaganza.
Over a bottle or two of wine the plans
were made. Would they wed at a
restaurant, or on the beach, or in the
main street? No. We’d heard that The
Prime Minister of the Cook Islands
lived next door to our resort. The plan
developed. Jan would knock on the
door, admiring the garden, and slip in
that she and Bob were being wed and
would they mind if the wedding was
in their back yard? Of course. Doesn’t
every PM let some foreigner have a
wedding in their backyard? What
about John or George W or Helen?
Not on your Nelly! But we were in the
Cook Islands, the land of hospitality.
Jan and Bob scored a coup in the
Cook Islands. Great talking point!
Other plans were made. The
reception? The obvious choice. At the
resort, so there’d be no-one pulled

COOK ISLANDS
over for DUI, and we could just
collapse into bed afterwards.
Food? Well let’s BYO. No. Let’s
put a dash of Aussie flavour in it and
have a Barbie.
Garry Maher volunteered to cook
and became the official wedding
planner. A title which he wore
proudly (and also taped it to his
head).
Jan then decided it would be great
if everyone could wear Island gear,
and leis. Sharon Gibbins organised
the leis, and thereafter became known
as Lei Lady Lei. It was announced at
the breakfast bar that thin leis were
$5, thick leis $10 and long leis $10.
You can imagine the response.
Everyone was caught up in the
proceedings. At the track the evening
before, announcements were made
and the bride was asked to present
some of the medals.
Next morning Bob and Jan were
back at the track. Bob cut his weight
throw short, and Jayne Hardy hurried
the javelin along, as she was the
designated flower girl. Ray Green
only ran 120m of the 1500m in the
pentathlon, at 5.30pm, so that he and
Sharon could be in time for the
wedding at 6pm (that was his excuse
anyway). Sharon delivered the leis,
showered and dressed all in record
time to take up her new position as
official digital photographer (yes,
photos were taken of the fingers).
They didn’t deliver enough leis, so we
improvised with some frangipani ones
some little girls at the track had
made, and some that were presented
to us on the dais.
This is it (or is it?)
Finally, all the guests gathered
together in the PM’s garden. It was
an expanse of lush grass, leading to
palm trees fringing the beach, where
the waves rolled onto the coral reef,
and the sun set behind streaks of
cloud. You’ve never seen such a
colourful array of guests. Almost all
had bought sarongs to wear, or floral
shirts, and wore head leis made of
gardenias and palm fronds. Cloth leis

were worn. Most were armed with
still or video cameras.
Bob and the ring bearer John
Reynolds waited nervously under the
coconut palms (sorry, no coconuts
fell). Legend has it that John is to
blame for introducing the happy
couple.
Trish and Bryan Thomas supplied
the wedding car. They had hired a
three-wheeled bubble car and
decorated it with purple bougainvillea
and palm fronds (kindly supplied by
the Rarotongan Sunset’s garden).
Bryan, who had the honour of giving
the bride away (she should be worth
more than that), drove Jan down the
street to show her off (or was it the
car he was showing off?).
Jayne the delicate, sweet flower
girl (she wore a skirt!) led Jan and
Bryan down the garden path. Jan
was beaming, setting off her outfit
with thick head lei and thick neck lei
of gardenias. The gown was sleeveless
and had a slash to one side, enabling
the occasional exposure of “a bit of
leg”. She swooned as she saw Bob
waiting for her (such was the
overpowering scent of the gardenias).
Bryan dressed as a Cook Islands
warrior of old, with his sarong tied at
the waist and two leis to cover his
tanned chest and head.
The ceremony went off without a
hitch (you’ll understand the pun
later). The celebrant married Bob and
Jan as long they vowed to forgive each
other’s foibles (the celebrant didn’t
know what was meant by this, but we
all knew).
The photo shoot in the garden and
gathered on the steps of the PM’s
house took longer than the wedding,
and included the family dog bounding
up to play with the three sirens who
had to recline at our feet to get in the
photo.
The wedding breakfast.
The drive to the reception would
not have been possible without the
guests lifting the bubble car to point it
up the driveway. It not only sounded
like a lawnmower, but it didn’t have
reverse either. Off went the married
couple, squeezed in tighter than
sardines, running into the fence, and
being chased by the paparazzi. Talk
about the Rolls Royce of Island
transport (do they make
lawnmowers?).
What a night the reception was!
Garry had commandeered the
breakfast bar at the Rarotongan
Sunset and the essential ingredient –
the BBQ. He had slaved over the
salads that morning after some
prudent buys at the Avarua markets,
and then fronted up to cook the meat,
as well as managing to compete, and
tear the hem of his T-shirt to look the
part. Bob Watson ably assisted the
meat manager. Ray Green was
master of ceremonies, as usual not
requiring a microphone to be heard
over the cacophony of giggles that
were generated by the telegrams sent
from all over the globe. Little John,
Helen Clarke, Betty and Phil, Wally
Fountainhead and Osama obliged and
there were a few limericks thrown in.
Ask Jan if you’re game to hear them.
Sue Watson delighted the crowd with
her rendition of “Suzy, Suzy, sitting in
the shoe shine shop. All day long she
sits and shines. All day long she
shines and sits” (try saying that ten
times). She also showed us her
infamous party trick of “instructions
on how to inflate your breasts”. Other
entertainment came from the Cook Is
dance troupe of Chief Bryan
Avabigtonguea and his Chieftess
Trish Coconutitti.
The warrior Chief and his
Chieftess danced to ward off the evil
spirits from the marriage of Jan and
Bob. (Fran Harris and Trish both
managed to squeeze into the popular
coconut bras. Fran pinned her
numbers on so she didn’t reveal the
cleavage.)
Later there were the nut bush
dancers, Rosemary Acashew, Jayne
Hardnut-to-crack, Jan Peanut-butter,
and Garry Cooking-walnut. Despite
their midnight practice sessions (to
keep awake the chief and chieftess so
that they could begin their vigil
against the evil spirits), the dancers
could have been better co-ordinated
(no offence to official choreographer
Rosemary Clarke). Adriana Van
Bockel tried to help the chief, however
Island dancing is not recommended in
the treatment of stress fractures of
the foot.
Rhonda Dundas tried her hand at
pole dancing (she should try a round
pole next time – those square ones are
murder!).
Next came secret men’s business.
All the men lined up on one side of
the pool, while on the other, the new
bride reclined on a beach chair. The
bridegroom fell to his knees beside
her, bathing in her aura, and
dragging her garter off with his teeth.
At one stage the garter crept back up
her leg, so he had to start again. Then
came the fling of the garter into the
air, over the water, to land in Garry’s
fiery hands. All that training had paid
off. A fitting catch, as the bride in her
speech had announced she had
married the wrong man, it should
have been Garry, as he’s the best
cook. (Gazza proudly wore the garter
as a headband as he scored a win in
the 400m hurdles next day.)
Another fitting moment came as
Jan hurled the lei over her head,
dropping it at her feet behind her.
Rhonda nevertheless, risking all,
flung herself over the bridge to take a
catch. She was keen to take Jan’s
place when Jan announced she had
married the wrong man.
But wait, there’s more! Before the
night was complete, Bob had to make
yet another speech. He told the story
of purchasing the marriage licence.
When the celebrant arrived on the
wedding day she asked for the papers.
Bob handed her a receipt for the $50.
What about the licence? (Where was
the video camera to see the look on
their faces?). Bob had not picked it up.
Jan kept her cool. Jayne and John
were stunned.
(Remember, “despite each other’s
foibles!”) Bob continued the story,
recounting that when they went to do
“the signing” Bob wrote “I have made
a terrible mistake and didn’t collect
the papers”. That was the great unwedding. Yes, “without a hitch”.
The real wedding was rebooked for
two days later and we all just carried
on partying. We thought it was all a
ploy to have different dates for the
anniversary, so that if Bob forgot the
first date then he might remember
the next! We also figured that they
had four dates. The two Cook Islands
dates and the two Australian dates as
the Cook Islands are 20 hours behind
us.
Would you believe it? What else
could go wrong? On the Monday they
picked up the licence, but the
celebrant’s name was wrong. “Come
back later. We’ll fix it for a fee.” The
date was wrong. “Come back later. No
extra charge.”
Finally at 4.30pm Monday,
October 25, Cook Island time Jan
Davies and Bob Banens were officially
married (we hope). Congratulations.
“Coup in the Cook Is.” “The great
un-wedding” “OOPS, I’ve married the
wrong man” “With all OUR foibles”
“99 things that could go wrong with a
wedding”
What would you call it?
I would say it was the most
colourful, funniest, unforgettable
wedding I’ve been to.
HOLIDAYING IN A TROPICAL PARADISE
A personal view of the 12th Oceania
Veterans’ Athletics Championships
held recently in Rarotonga, Cook
Islands by BRYAN THOMAS.
IMPRESSIONS OF RAROTONGA
Rarotonga, the largest of the
fifteen Cook Islands is a beautiful
small island (32km circumference) in
the middle of the South Pacific Ocean,
far, far away from everywhere. Warm
sunny days and evenings. Luxurious
and colourful vegetation grow right to
the edges of white sand beaches, teal
coloured lagoons and further out
waves break on the surrounding reef.
Chooks and dogs roam freely but after
the first night most visitors stop
hearing the pre-dawn cock-crows.
The locals are often of large
stature and almost always cheerful,
friendly and generous. They and
visitors alike wear flower pattern
shirts and sarongs and freshly made
leis without embarrassment. Busy
streets with lots of motor-cycles,
scooters and small cars scurrying
back and forth at a top speed of
40kph, traveling either clockwise or
anti-clockwise around the island.
Tourists (many of whom were Aussie
and Kiwi athletes) regularly went
shopping for souvenirs, especially
black pearls, or dining out.
Cook Islanders are very musical
and enjoy their vibrant music with its
loud vigorous drumming as well as
performing seductive and athletic
dances.
Numerous churches (of all
Christian denominations) around the
island and ubiquitous family burial
plots indicate the significant role
Christianity plays in Cook Islands
society. Sunday church services
featuring the most amazing singing
guarantee they are always packed
with both their regular congregation
and camera-wielding tourists. The
local radio station operates on a
simple formula of playing a
Polynesian song followed by an old
and gentle 1950s hit then another
Polynesian number and so on with an
occasional news item and a regular
Christian sermon. The only TV
broadcast also allocates much of its
evening time to Christian programs.
We were fortunate to be there for
Gospel Day (a national annual
holiday) to witness six hours of free
open-air music, dance and melodrama
by six villages each portraying their
interpretation of the arrival of the
missionaries in early19th century.
The Cook Islands is a great place
to enjoy a tropical holiday in a place
that has not yet become over
commercialised. It is also an
attractive venue for weddings, which
is an important component of the
local economy. We were fortunate,
Dual role. Garry Maher took on two
roles in the Cook Islands. As an athlete
he brought home many medals and he
was organiser of that wedding in
Rarotonga.
privileged and honoured to be part of
a most memorable and enjoyable
tropical wedding of two prominent
club personalities, Bob Banens and
Jan Davies. (I’ll leave it to others to
describe the venue, the role of the
special wedding organizer, arrival of
the bride, dress of everyone involved,
post-wedding celebrations and the
special uniqueness of the two
ceremonies – yes two!).
ACCOMMODATION
Eighteen months ago Trish
Thomas took upon herself to
investigate group bookings for flights
and accommodation in Rarotonga
during the Oceania Championships.
After advertising in Vetrunner and at
local events, 28 (including 17 ACTVAC
members) took up her invitation
while an additional eight Victorians
liked the look of the accommodation
Trish had booked and arranged to
join us. We now had 36 staying
together at the same beach-side resort
where all apartments had a view of
the setting sun over the ocean.
“Rarotonga Sunset” also happened to
be next door to the Prime Ministers
Lodge and grounds, an ideal site for a
wedding!
12th OCEANIA VETERANS’
ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS
As we had been in Rarotonga for
several
days
before
the
championships most were in happy
holiday mode and enjoying bumping
into old and new friends so the
thought of competing in a track or
field competition was furthest from
mind.
These championships were unlike
any we had ever experienced in
Australia and indeed elsewhere but
they were definitely one of the most
enjoyable, friendliest and memorable
I have ever attended. Of the 266
competitors, 116 were from Australia
and 115 from New Zealand. This was
the first occasion since the 1984
Oceania/Australian Championships in
Canberra that there were more
Aussies than Kiwis. Most popular age
groups were W55, W60, W65, M60 and
M65. Apart from athletes a number of
Australians and New Zealanders
volunteered as officials.
Our ACT contingent of 17
consisted of 13 women and four men;
they were – Bob Banens M55, Caroline
Campbell W60, Rosemary Clarke W40,
Cory Collins W65, Suzanne Counsel
W60, Jan Davies W60, Nola de Chazal
W65, Sharon Gibbins W45, Ray Green
M60, Jayne Hardy W40, Fran Harris
W65, Consie Larmour W65, Garry
Maher M55, Raylea Rudov W60, Bryan
Thomas M60, Trish Thomas W55 and
Mary Wahren W70. We might also lay
claim to the exploits of both Ken
Daniels M65 and Lesley Hamilton W60
as part of our team because although
now Queenslanders they were
formerly prominent ACTVAC
members. However at an Oceania
Championships you represent your
country and wear its uniform rather
than state or territory.
It was impressive that such a
small and isolated community could
organise a week-long international
athletics carnival so successfully. But
they certainly did. The picturesque
sports stadium, nestled beneath steep
forest covered hills with its excellent
grass athletics track was the main
venue for the championships. The
10km road walk was conducted along
the road just outside the stadium, the
8km cross-country consisted of four
laps of the golf course and even
though the half marathon commenced
at 6.30am runners had to share the
narrow roadway with early morning
traffic as they completed two loops
along the waterfront and around the
airport.
The meet was conducted in an
efficient and friendly manner and
despite appearing to be low key there
were many memorable performances.
W95 Ruth Frith, now residing in
Queensland, always impresses those
who watch her participate in all
throwing events and in Rarotonga she
didn’t disappoint by setting three new
World Records. Ruth declared that
even though this would be her last
overseas competition we should still
see her at major events within
Australia. Four of our ACT contingent
earned Oceania Championship
Records – Jayne Hardy in the W40
hammer, javelin, heavy weight and
weight pentathlon, Fran Harris W60
300H and steeplechase, Sharon
Gibbins W45 weight throw and Ray
Green M60 weight throw.
Some of the most exciting events
for spectators were when a Cook
Islander was involved especially
when challenging for a place. It was
appropriate that the local team won
gold in the final track event of the
carnival, a medley relay (800, 400 and
2x200m) causing much boisterous
celebration both in the stands and on
the track.
The Opening Ceremony was a
simple joyous occasion with an
athletes’ march/stroll into the stadium
(an ideal opportunity to meet up with
friends) followed by a few short
speeches and on with the first events.
The AGM of the Oceania Veterans’
Athletics Association was held during
the championships. Three important
decisions were made, to change the
name to Oceania Masters Athletics,
allow M30s to participate in future
championships and ratify the venue
of the next two Championships
(Christchurch 2006 and Townsville
2008).
Trish Thomas learned that there
was urgent need for a permanent
breast screening facility in Rarotonga
and that the local Breast Cancer
Society was trying to raise funds. She
sought permission to help the local
project by asking athletes for
donations. Three of us went around
the stands and track and in a short
time collected more than $500.Trish
collected another $200+ for the cause
at the Closing Ceremony so was
pleased to hand over more than $700
to the local society.
The Closing Ceremony was the
most enjoyable I have attended, the
highlight being a presentation of
traditional Cook Island dance and
music. A pleasant surprise was that
everyone was given an engraved pearl
shell to wear like a winner’s medal. It
was a happy and fun way to wind up a
successful
12th
Oceania
Championships. Christchurch
certainly has some high standards to
aim for in January 2006.
INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES
All ACT athletes returned with at
least one medal, some with several,
but the most prized memento of being
placed in an event was being crowned
with a traditional Cook Island flower
wreath.
We had been looking forward to
participating in this South Pacific
paradise for a long time but some
suffered from injury or illness prior to
leaving home and were apprehensive
as to how they we would perform.
Rosemary Clarke, Sharon Gibbins,
Fran Harris and Bryan Thomas took
leg injuries into competition while
recent illness had upset preparations
of Cory Collins, Nola De Chazal and
Raylea Rudov.
Garry Maher and Bob Banens
were our first medallists winning
silver and bronze respectively in the
M55 high jump and so beginning a
superb carnival for both.
Again we demonstrated what a
talented and enthusiastic group of
throwers we have in our club by the
huge haul of medals, many
outstanding performances and
several championship records (four
by Jayne Hardy and one each by
Sharon Gibbins and Ray Green)
accumulated by Bob, Rosemary, Jan
Davies, Sharon, Ray, Jayne, Raylea,
Trish Thomas and Mary Wahren while
occasional throwers Fran and Bryan
also picked up a medal in the javelin.
Their knowledge and experience was
well received by organizers and other
athletes when offering advice on
conducting events efficiently and
safely and helping officiate.
Our sprinters Cory, Sharon,
Consie Larmour and Garry enjoyed
running on the grass track and
featured in many exciting races. They,
along with Rosemary and Jayne were
selected to make up a variety of
national relay teams to challenge NZ,
Cook Islands and other Aussie squads.
Fran and Garry also starred in hurdle
races, Fran setting a championship
record in the long hurdles.
Bob, Rosemary, Nola, Fran and
Garry each had a go at one of the
jumping events. Rosemary, a former
open champion long jumper and AIS
athlete is now more interested in
coaching elite juniors than in her own
performances. She is an excellent
source of technical advice for any
aspiring veteran jumper.
Cory, Jayne, Fran and Garry ran
both the 400 and 800m while Caroline
Campbell’s win in the W60 1500m
indicated that she is also a pretty
good middle distance runner.
Caroline was the standout
performer in her age group in all long
distance events (5000m, 8km crosscountry and half marathon) finishing
just ahead of another Canberran
Suzanne
Counsel.
Bryan,
handicapped by a serious knee injury
struggled through his 5000m,
steeplechase and cross-country before
withdrawing from the half marathon.
Before deciding to start the
steeplechase both Fran and Bryan
tested their injuries over several
practice steeples, Fran going on to set
another championship record.
Rosemary and Nola were
successful in the race walks and as at
every meet they attend seem to be all
over the field participating in a
variety of events. Sharon, Jayne, Fran
and Garry also appeared to be
constantly involved while Bob and
Ray joined them in the pentathlon.
Bob sprinted his pentathlon 200m like
seasons of yore and Ray impressed
spectators with his own comfortable
style in his 200m.
championship will be next August in
San Sebastian, Spain for the 16th

Championships and the following
January the 13th Oceania Masters
Athletics Championships will be in

ATHLETES BACK IN ACTION AFTER WEEK OFF
NOVEMBER 18
What a start we have had to our
“summer” track and field program.
The first two weeks affected by the
weather, then a fairly good evening.
Then on the fourth week came that
heavy rain, the first we have seen in
Canberra for many year, that
resulted in cancelling the meet on
November 4. However, it was back to
action this week.
Unfortunately I was away for a
few days break in the south western
part of Western Australia. A great
place to be with many visits to the
wineries, a chocolate factory and a
cheese factory. Probably the highlight
was getting to see inside two
magnificent lighthouses, one at Cape
Leeuwin and the other at Cape
Naturaliste.
Getting back to the athletics, we
had 96 participants this week, the
best by far this season. The attraction
of handicap races is certainly a boon
to attendances, this week it was a
3000m Pennington event.
39 runners took part in an agebased handicap with the older men
and women getting a start on the
younger brigrade. Michael Leahey
certainly took advantage of moving
up an age group this season and
easily took the win, some 12 seconds
ahead of M45 Geoff Hawke with M40
Colin Farlow a further four seconds
back, who was also four seconds
ahead of M55 Geoff Moore and the
first woman, W35 Sarah Fien another
three seconds adrift although having
to give a time advantage away to the
four older men.
In net times Colin was some way
ahead of the rest of the pack with his
10.12, easily beating Michael and
Geoff who finished ahead of him. It is
probably the only time that one would
like to be in an older age group to get
the advantage of some seconds at the
start. For the record Geoff Hawke,
10.26 was the second fastest in the
race and Michael, 10.32 third with
Sarah’s time of 10.56 more than a
minute ahead of W45 Maria O’Reilly’s
net time of 12.10. W50 Kathy Sims
was third in the net times with a
13.05.
Before going any further it is time
to welcome the new athletes this
week, they included, M40 Ron Von
Schelberger, M30 Di DeBrown, M30
Robert Gerrard, M35 Darren Ulrich,
M65 Kevin Desmet and Anona
Graham whose age group is unknown
Top ACT race walker. Lisa Wilson is
one of the best performed veteran race
walkers in the club.
at this time. Welcome to all and don’t
hesitate to ask any of the officials for
assistance if it is required. Please
enjoy your time with vets as it doesn’t
really matter what stage of fitness
your are at, but if you seek assistance
there are many training groups listed
in our monthly newsletter the
Vetrunner.
The second race was a sprint over
200m in the Boag Series. In this
event competitors run against the
AST (age standard times) percentages
for each individual age group. The
person at the end of the season who
has the best average percentage is the
declared the winner in both the men’s
and women’s races.
This week it was a 200m sprint.
The quickest performance came from
M40 Leo Kennedy with 24.5 and an
excellent AST% of 88.49. M55 Garry
Maher ran a 27.1 that gave him the
second best percentage with 85.31.
Third in the percentages was M40
Martin Crowe’s effort of 25.9 and
83.71.
For the women the best time was
posted by W35 Sue Dowling with a
28.4, however, W45 Vicki Matthews
ran a 30.1 that gave her the best
AST% of 80.30. Second in the
percentages was W65 Cory Collins
with her time of 38.6 and 78.16% just
ahead of Sue Dowling’s 77.89%.
The better conditions that
produced four records and an equal
record. Mary Wahren broke her own
W70 hammer throw with a 21.56
beating her previous best of 20.65.
M70 Bob Chapman got his record in
the 800m walk beating Joe Meyer’s
1985 mark of 5:19.0 with a superb
4:36.9. Then in the 4x200m relay the
W55 quartet of Rae Palmer, Margaret
McSpadden, Alice Scott and Jill
Brown established a record with a
time of 2:36.2 as did the quartet of
M75s that included Rad Leovic, who
incidentally fell off his bike but like a
good vet fought through the pain,
John Burns, Merv Collins and
Michael Freer timed at 3:18.2. The
mark that was equaled came from
M80 Ewen Drummond in the high
jump when he got over the bar at
0.85.
The first of the three throws this
week, the javelin, saw M45 Martin
Crowe getting in the best mark of the
night with a 36.75 just ahead of M40
Craig Wisdom’s 35.68 with M60 Ray
Green’s 33.09 third. Age group wins
also went to M35 John Donovan, M50
David Haggith, M55 Phil Toomey,
M65 Terry Munro and M80 Ewen
Drummond.
In the women’s competition the
best with the spear were W40 Jayne
Hardy 35.99 well ahead of the W45
pair Alex Lloyd 24.50 and Vicki
Matthews 21.33. Age group wins also
went to W55 Trish Thomas, W60 Jen
Bourke and W70 Mary Wahren.
Seven men and six women lined
up for the shot. The best heave in the
men’s group came from M60 Ray
Green with 12.41 ahead of M70
George Mencik’s 11.79 and M50
David Haggith’s 10.26 third. M35
John Donovan, M45 Steve Wallace
and M55 Tim Gulliver won their age
groups.W40 Jayne Hardy was as
usual away ahead of her compatriots
with her 10.52. Second was W45
Sharon Gibbins with 8.30 and W55
Trish Thomas 8.19 was third. W60
Raylea Rudov was the other age
group winner.
In the hammer the three
placegetters were identical to the shot
though a lot further in distance. M60
Ray Green got in a 42.55, M70 George
Mencik 37.82 and M50 David Haggith
35.19. M35 John Donovan, M45 Steve
Wallace were again age group
winners as was M80 Ewen
Drummond.
A new face appeared on the
women’s hammer result with W60
Jan Banens (formerly Jan Davies, she
and Bob Banens were married in
Cook Islands where they were
competing in the Oceania
Championships) getting in a big 39.74
just ahead of W40 Jayne Hardy’s
38.96 and W45 Sharon Gibbins’ 37.93.
Age group wins were seen by W55
Trish Thomas and of course not
forgetting W70 Mary Wahren’s record
and an age group win.
The jumps this week were the
high with seven men and woman W45
Alex Lloyd. In the men’s competition
three athletes were equal overall all
getting in jumps of 1.44, the two
newcomers in the M30 division, Di
DeBrown and Robert Gerrard Di
getting the nod on a countback, and
M45 Ken Smith. The other age group
winners were M35 John Donovan,
M55 Phil Toomey and M65 Ray
Bramwell with as mentioned above
M80 Ewen Drummon’s record.
Only four athletes tackled the
triple jump and in order of the best
distances they were, M40 Andrew
Endall, M30 Robert Gerrard, M40
Ron Von Schelberger and M65 Ray
Bramwell.
Back at the track a very healthy
field of 19 men and eight women faced
the starter in the 100m. Going
through the age groups, starting with
the M30s Dion Devow beat Robert
Gerrard, M35s had Matthew Hardy
ahead of Darren Ulrich and John
Donovan, M40s Michael Rutter beat
Ron Von Schelberger, M45s with five
runners had Leo Kennedy (best time
overall with 12.0) in front of Kevin
Matthews, Martin Crowe, Phil White
and Ken Smith. No M50s and in the
M55s John Payne was well ahead of
Tim Gulliver, who incidentally is still
recovering from a double hip
replacement, one M60 Alan Norden,
two M65s with Ray Bramwell in front
of Kevin Desmet and the lone runners
in the M70s Jack Thackray and the
M75s John Burns.
In the women’s races Sue Dowling
was on her own in the W35s and also
had the best overall time with a 13.5,
Jayne Hardy a loner in the W40s,
three W45s with Marlene Reid ahead
of Vicki Matthews and Sharon
Gibbins, one run in each of the W50s,
W55s and W60s Bev Breen, Jill
Brown and Val Chesterton
Out at the AIS. On the left, Helen Larmour, daughter-in-law of Consie leads Neil
Boden in the 3000m.
Right, Steve Wallace gets in a good effort in the discus with big metres.
respectively and in the W65s Cory
Collins was just a touch ahead of
Consie Larmour.
Two races in one for the walkers, a
five lapper and a two lapper. M55
Geoff Sims was first in the 800m with
a 4:21.3 ahead of M70 Bob Chapman’s
4:36.9 which was listed above as an
age group record.
In the 2000m M60 Robin Whyte’s
11:19.4 was too good for Geoff Barker
then followed M65 Terry Munro
14:12.7, W50 Chris Booth 15:06.7 and
last but not least was Anona Graham
whose age at this time was unkown,
with a 15:34.1.
In the 1500m M40 Colin Farlow
got some revenge for his third placing
in the Pennington race by beating
both his adversaries M50 Michael
Leahey and M45 Geoff Hawke. Colin
also won his age group as did Michael
but Geoff was second to John Morton
in the M45s, third in that group were
Nigel Coldrick and fourth Roger
Pilkington. The order in the M40s
after Colin was Rod Lynch, Peter
Cullen and Andrew Endall. Tom Lane
was second in the M50s and other age
group winners M55 Robbie
Costmeyer, M65 Tony Booth and M70
Bob Chapman. W35 Ellen Lloyd was
the only female in the race.
In the 400m there was quite a
tussle between M35 Damian Rutledge
and M45 Phil White and despite
giving away almost ten years Phil
pushed Damian all the way and at the
line was only seven tenths adrift.
Other good efforts although only
second in their respective age groups
came from Matthew Hardy
and
Kevin Matthews. Age group wins
went to M50 Nev Madden and M70
Jack Thackray.
Another good race in the women’s
400m event between W45s Vicki
Matthews and Marlene Reid that also
went right down to the wire with
Vicki getting up by just over a second.
Ellen Lloyd was on her own in the
W30s and in the W50s Maureen
Rossiter finished ahead of Bev Breen.
Consie Larmour was the lone runner
in the W65.
The relay this week was a 4x200m
effort with new records going to the
W55 and M75 teams (mentioned
above). Quite a tight race between the
top two teams with the quartet of
M35 Darren Ulrich, M30 Dion Devow,
M35 John Donovan and M35
Matthew Hardy posting a 1:49.1 just
ahead of the 1:50.2 by M45 Ken
Smith, M50 Nev Madden, Phil White
and Kevin Matthews.
The second women’s team of W50s
Maureen Rossiter, Kathy Sims,
Marlene Reid and Bev Breen were
also attempting an age group record
but were well short of that mark.
The final race of the meet was the
third race of ten races in the Adler
Spiral Handicap Series, this week it
was over six laps. This event used to
be one of the favourites, but
unfortunately has dropped off in
number in recent seasons, this week
it was down to a low of 18 runners.
Leading them home was M60 Roy
Jones with a net time for the distance
of 12.10. He picked up 50 points for
his effort. Some 18 seconds behind
Roy was W65 Cory Collins with her
net time of 14.33 giving her 49 points.
Next across the line was M45 Ken
Smith who wasn’t eligible for points
this time around but nevertheless ran
a pretty good time of 11.09. The 48
points for third place went to M45
Nigel Coldrick who covered the
distance in 10.47.
The quickest male for the six laps
was M45 John Morton with a 9.05.
Three other runners managed to get
under 10 minutes, they were, M40
Rod Lynch 9.20 with both M50 Tom
Lane and M40 Peter Cullen on 9.38.
For the five women in the field the
best net time went to W35 Ellen
Lloyd with a 11.47. Second was W55
Margaret McSpadden 12.56 and third
W56 Anne Young 14.11.

NOVEMBER 25
In what turned out to be a great
night for track and field and a fairly
healthy attendance only one record
came out of all that competition, well
actually two as W45 Alex Lloyd broke
her own pole vault record twice in as
many jumps. She got over the bar at
1.80m and in her next effort cleared
the bar at 1.90 to the surprise of
many watching, including herself, as
it appeared that she hit the bar fairly
solidly on the descent, but fortunately
for Alex it didn’t comesdown. Actually
the next jumper also hit the bar
coming down and it also stayed in
position.
Only noted one new name in the
results sheet, that of M40 Grant
Blewitt, don’t know if he is any
relation to Kevin but he certainly fits
the age group. A couple of names that
have attended track before that
included M40s Amalendu Edelsten
and Don Smith, and M35 Phil
Coggins, welcome back guys!
The night’s entertainment got
underway shortly after 6pm at the
lower field where the heavy weight
was changed to the shot due to the
heavy weight implements not being
available.
It was a toss up who would heave
the shot to more than 12 metres and
that honour fell to M60 Ray Green
and M70 George Mencik with Ray
beating George by 39 cenitmetres.
Also seen again on the results lists
was M55 Tim Gulliver, Tim has
earned the nickname of “hippy, hippy
shake” as he seems to have recovered
from not one but two hip
replacements. Not seen on the track
this week but up to see how things
were going, was Bryan Thomas as he
had some work done on a troublesome
knee that morning and although he
was walking rather ‘gingerly’ he
seems to have gotten over the op very
well. Hopefully he will get the all
clear and be back in action soon.
Getting back to that shot
competition the top three in women’s
competition were as usual W40 Jayne
Hardy, W45 Sharon Gibbins and W60
Jan Davies (or is it Banens) as her
name on the results sheet was listed
in both versions. Incidentally Jan won
that W60 age group from Raylea
Rudov and Jen Bourke.
Other men and women to take out
age group wins included M40 Grant
Blewitt, M45 Steve Wallace, M50
David Haggith, M55 Tim Gulliver,
M75 Rad Leovic, M80 Ewen
Drummond, and W70 Mary Wahren
Back up at the track the 3000m
runners were on their way at 6.30 and
10mins and 26sec later M35 Peter
Zygadlo crossed the line to be the first
finisher. Almost a minute later M50
Tom Lane was home and the third
male to finish was M45 Gary Bowen.
Of the other nine in the race Phil
Coggins was second in the M35s. Neil
Boden and Nick Blackaby were
second and third respectively in the
M55s. Mario Larocca took out the
M55 as did Geoff Barker the M60s
ahead of Roy Jones. In the M65 Roger
Abbott was ahead of Tony Booth and
Lachlan Lewis at the finish.

spear at the javelin.
Right, Raine Thompson has plenty to smile about as she leads the way in the
handicap walk. Sadly for Raine the three backmarkers, Lachlan Wilkinson, Lisa
Wilson and Robin Whyte took the honours.
Of the four women in the event
W45 Helen Larmour (another name I
haven’t come across in the results list,
wonder if she is any relation of
Consie?) was some two minutes ahead
of M55 Margaret McSpadden and
Alice Scott with the W65s going to
Anne Young.
It was now time for the first of the
sprints. However, before going on I’m
glad to report that at last Doug and I
have got our heads together and got
the photo finish up, sadly after all
that effort the printer ran out of black
ink and Doug had to copy the times
down by hand. I can now assure those
sprinters that they were spot on
accurate.
There were five heats in the
Daniels Handicap this week and the
best net times to come out of those
four men’s heats and one women’s
heat were M45 Leo Kennedy and W60
Val Chesterton.
In the men’s races all of those that
were eligible for points ran in the
range of 11.21sec to 11.97. The
closeness of the competitors shows
how important it is to have photo
finish. As far as points were
concerned M65 Michael Roche and
M30 Craig Edwards came out on top
with 35 each ahead of M55 Jim White
and M45 Kevin Matthews with 32
each.
In the women’s division W60 Val
Chesterton scored a massive 41 with
the next two on 33 they were W50
Maureen Rossiter and W55 Jill Brown
There was also a handicap event
for the walkers this week and it was
over 1500m. The first three over the
line were M45 Lachlan Wilkinson,
W35 Lisa Wilson and M60 Robin
Whyte. Then followed M60 Geoff
Barker, M55 Rod Gilchrist, M65
Terry Munro, W50 Chris Booth, W60
Val Chesterton, W55 Alice Scott, W55
Raine Thompson, W50 Carmen
Carlon and W55 Margaret
McSpadden.
Then came the second sprint of the
night and it was over the longer
200m. The one standout competitor
was M45 Leo Kennedy who was just
under a second ahead of the rest, and
although it doesn’t sound a lot these
guys can run 10 to 12 metres in a
second. Behind Leo there were a
number of close finishers. The other
heat wins went to M70 Jack
Thackray, M65 Michael Roche and
W55 Jill Brown. However, the age
group winners were M30 Craig
Edwards, M35 Matthew Hardy, M40
Ken Gordon, M45 Leo Kennedy, M50
Robert Barbaro, M55 Peter Davies,
M60 Michael Roche, M70 Jack
Thackray, M75 John Burns, W45
Sharon Gibbins, W50 Maureen
Rossiter and W55 Jill Brown. While
all this was going on the other two
throws, the discus and javelin were
going on at either end of the stadium.
In the discus M60 Ray Green got
in a massive 46.67m not all that far
off Attila Spaits age group record of
47.39. Other good efforts came from
M70 George Mencik and M50 David
Haggith. Age group wins also went to
M35 John Donovan, M40 Robin Von
Schelberger, M45 Steve Wallace M55
Tim Gulliver, M75 Rad Leovic and
M80 Ewen Drummond.
In the women’s competition as
usual W40 Jayne Hardy and W45
Sharon Gibbins were way ahead of
the rest who, as it turned out were all
in the W60s age group with Jan
Davies winning from Jen Bourke and
Raylea Rudov.
At bit more action at the javelin
with the big marks spread around
quite a bit. The best effort coming
from M40 Grant Blewitt from M65
Don Fraser and M60 Ray Green. Also
getting in good throws with the spear
and taking out age group wins were
M30 Craig Edwards, M35 John
Donovan, M45 Robin Von
Schelberger, M50 David Haggith,
M55 Tim Gulliver, M75 Rad Leovic
and M80 Ewen Drummond.
W40 Jayne Hardy of course had
the better of the others as far as
distance was concerned. Alex Lloyd,
with the second best throw of the
night, got the better of Sharon
Gibbins in the W45s. The three W60s
were again in action this time the win
went to Jen Bourke ahead of Jan
Davies and Raylea Rudov.
In the jumps there was that pole
vault record by Alex Lloyd. The other
three in the event saw M35 John
Donovan and M65 Kevin Blewitt
equal on two metres and W60 Val
Chesterton jumped to 1.40.
In the long jump M40 Andrew
Endall was almost two metres ahead
of the other two men in the
competition that saw M35 John
Donovan a metre ahead of M50 Nick
Blackaby. W35 Megan Stewart and
Val Chesterton were the only two
women competing, the younger
Megan taking the honours.
The high jump saw M35 John
Donovan get his fourth age group win
of the meet and W60 Val Chesterton
knocking off three age group wins.
The best effort however, came from
M45 Ken Smith with a leap of 1.37,
Roger Pilkington was second in that
age group and W35 Megan Stewart
got over at a metre the same as Val.
Back on the track it was time for
the 800m. Leading the way as usual
were M35 Damian Rutledge and M40
Colin Farlow and in the end Damian
came out on top to win easily by a
couple of seconds.
Other good efforts came from M50
Michael Leahey, M45 Phil White and
M40 Ken Gordon. Age groups also
went to M55 Kevin Chamberlain,
M60 Geoff Barker, M65 Tony Booth
and the battle of the M75 between
Rad Leovic and Merv Collins went to
Rad by 2.6 seconds.
The outstanding performance in
the women’s 800m came from W45
Maria O’Reilly who was almost ten
seconds ahead of her nearest rival
W35 Ellen Lloyd. Good efforts were
also seen by W50 Kathy Sims and
W60 Fran Harris. W45 Helen
Larmour was second in her age group.
After a pretty bare turnout in the
hurdles, seven hearty souls put their
lives on the line in the 200m hurdles.
The battle for the best time was
between M30 Dion Devow and M45
Phil White a renowned top class
hurdler. In the wrap-up there was
only a narrow gap of less than a
second with Phil getting on top as
they approached the finishing line.
Craig Edwards was second in the M30
group and Ken Smith second in the
M45s. M35 John Donovan and M40
Andrew Endall won their respective
age groups. W40 Jayne Hardy was
the lone women in the field and did a
pretty good job considering she is
normally a thrower that sometimes
sprints.
The final two events of the meet
were a 10000m and a 4x100m relay.
That relay was run during the
longer race and of the two teams that
lined up that thrower cum-sprinter
W40 Jayne Hardy led off her team
that included W45 Sharon Gibbins yet
another thrower that dabbles in the
sprints now and then, M30 Craig
Edwards and M35 John Donovan.
They recorded 54.4secs to beat the
quartet of M35 Matthew Hardy, M70
Jack Thackray, M30 Dion Devow and
M45 Leo Kennedy by four tenths of a
second.
Nineteen men and two women
faced the starter’s gun in the 25 lap
races that saw M45 Geoff Hawke take
the lead, He was never headed
finishing in a pretty smart 36.43 some
17 seconds ahead of M50 Michael
Leahey with M40 Nick Mesher a
further 11 seconds adrift who in turn
was 1.20 ahead of fellow M40
Amalendu Edelsten. Going through
the rest of the age groups the M35s
went to Damian Rutledge, third and
fourth in the M40s were Ross Greig
and Don Smith respectively. In the
M45s after Geoff’s great win came
Nigel Coldrick, Ewen Thompson, and
Gary Bowden.
Tom Lane was second in the M50s,
Jim White won the M55s from Mario
Larocca, Geoff Sims, Michael Gardner
and Peter Davies. Geoff Hakes took
the M60s as did Tony Booth take the
M65s ahead of Lachlan Lewis.
W50 Kathy Sims took the honours
for the women a minute 14 seconds
ahead of W35 Amanda Walker.

SECRETARY’S REPORT
I hope everyone is enjoying the
Christmas celebrations. There seems

New Year. We deserve to party.
At the December Committee
meeting we had Alice and Jayne

Jayne will be accepting names and
forming a roster. If you can help for
only a few hours we would be
grateful. Uniforms are compulsory for
competitors.
If you can’t buy one, try borrowing
one.
In 2006 ACTVAC will be
conducting the national
championships so organisation of the
event needs to start soon.
Kathy Sims has been appointed
our Anti-doping Officer and will be
learning more about the role at a
seminar if February.
Grants have been received by
Sport and Rec to assist in forming a
Strategic Plan, to upgrade accounting
system and for some equipment.
These have to be matched dollar for
dollar. A triennial assistance grant of
$14,000 was also made.
It was also agreed that some
members would be granted
honorariums commencing in 2006. To
be put to the AGM which will be May
19, 2005.
Anyone going to San Sebastian,
Spain, in August 2005 for the World

Clohessy Trophy, one of the club’s
three prestigious “club-person”
awards (the others being the
Encouragement Award and the
Johnson Trophy for service and
participation in the monthly running
handicaps and track and field
respectively). Club president Ray
gave an informative commentary on
the award and previous recipients (11
of the 12 were present) before opening
the envelope to read the citation for
this year’s winner. It was not a
surprise that Jayne Hardy was
announced as the winner of the 2004
Clohessy Trophy. (A report of Jayne’s
involvement and contributions is
published separately).
Ray also, on behalf of the regular
competitors thanked Trish Thomas
for once again providing the
leadership necessary for the
continuation of this unique, popular
and successful monthly throwing
handicap program.
Usually after all the official
presentations had been performed,
Audun Fristad would stand and in his
customary quiet and generous way
thank everyone who helped make the
year successful. Audun would wish us
all a Merry Christmas and a Happy

presentation of a bottle of special
Norwegian spirits to a person he felt
especially deserving. A couple of
year’s ago he presented Peter Neill
with such a gift. Sadly our “Mad
Viking” was not with us this time as
he had passed away last March, so
Peter took this opportunity to remind
us of Audun and opened the special
bottle and offered all a wee dram to
toast our old friend.

EX-STADIA MAJOR AWARDS WINNERS FOR 2004
KENT and LYNN WILLIAMS,
joint winners of the 2004
Encouragement Award
Kent and Lyn Williams have been
members for more than 14 years
having joined in 1990. Like many
parents, they were drawn back to
running because of their children’s
involvement in junior sport. They
made their comeback in the 1989
Canberra Times Fun Run because of
the cash prizes being offered as “lucky
draws”. Kent had been a talented
middle distance runner during his
University days and performed much
better than expected while Lynn
enjoyed the long run with her family
from Phillip to Commonwealth
Gardens.
Lynn discovered that although
she had once been an asthmatic,
regular long gentle runs helped
control the condition. This new
enthusiasm for long distance running
encouraged them to join the CrossCountry Club, then a couple of
months later the ACTVAC.
Kent and Lynn are now regular
participants in most weekend races
organised by both organizations.
Together they earned their red “100
monthly running handicaps” T-shirt
on the same cold and frosty morning
at Mt Taylor in July 2003. However,
since then illness has caused Lynn to
miss two more running handicaps
than Kent and now trails him 111
runs to 113.
They are very enthusiastic
competitors who over the years have
participated in all sorts of races
including marathons, half marathons,
cross-country, track and monthly
handicaps. If not actually competing
they are one of the first to volunteer
to help at an event.
Kent made his marathon debut in
the tough, mainly up-hill Man from
Snowy River Marathon. He has since
completed several more marathons
with a PB of 2.38.11 set in the 1994
Gold Coast Marathon. He is currently
ranked 5th and 2nd best on our M45
and M50 marathon ranking lists.
Apart from marathons Kent has
also enjoyed success in the Canberra
50km and Brindabella Classic
“ultras” and many half marathons.
He has completed nine ACT Veterans’
Half Marathons winning his age
group three times (M45 in 1993, M50
in 1997 and as an M55 in 2004) and
having the best male performance (as
determined by WMA Age Standards)
as an M45 in 1993 and as an M55 in
2002.
Lynn was presented with her
“Survivors” T-shirt following the 2002
Vets’ Half Marathon for her ten years
as an official at the event.
Kent and Lynn are willing and
capable workers, always ready to take
on extra responsibilities. They are
always one of the earliest to arrive
and last to leave each monthly
handicap, especially during the last
three years since taking over
responsibility of delivering and
setting up our Chuck Wagon. They
work so quietly and efficiently that
many are unaware as to the amount
of work done or the complexity of the
task performed. But we are all very
appreciative of the job they do as well
as it is a major contribution to the
continued success and popularity of
our monthly handicaps.
This year’s winners are a little
extra special as it is only the second
time in the 24year history of this
prestigious award that it is presented
to a team rather than to an
individual. The only other occasion of
joint winners was 15years ago back in
1994.
Congratulations Kent and Lynn,
both worthy recipients of the
2004 Encouragement Award.
JAYNE HARDY: Winner of the
2004 Clohessy Trophy
Jayne exemplifies what most of us
believe our club stands for; that is to
be a determined competitor always
trying for a good performance and at
the same time ready and willing to
help as an administrator and also as
an official during an event.
She is an enthusiastic
participant who enjoys being involved
in most aspects of veterans’ athletics
especially the monthly throwing
handicaps and track and field. She
rarely misses a club throwing
competition of any kind and of course
has participated in all ten monthly
handicaps this year and now has a
total of seventy-six. In this year’s
program she won a gold and a bronze
medal as well as a bottle of red in the
lucky draw held at the end of each
month’s competition.
Ever since 1999 Jayne has
delivered the equipment for the
monthly handicaps and since 2001
has taken on a greater responsibility
of looking after all our throwing
equipment for all occasions. Always
first to arrive and last to leave
Masson Street, Jayne delivers the
heavy throwing gear then sets up
recording tables and chairs,
sometimes shelter or shade and
marks the sectors. During actual
competition she is available to mark
throws, carry implements back and
measure performances. Jayne was the
recipient of the Clohessy Trophy in
1999 for her participation and
involvement in helping make our
monthly throwing handicap program
a success.
She is a serious and talented
athlete and always competitive,
setting performance standards for
others to aspire. It didn’t take Jayne
long after joining the club in 1997 to
earn a well deserved reputation as a
most accomplished thrower by setting
many new ACT track and field
records (she currently holds all ACT
throwing records for W30, W35 and
W40 for a total of 17) as well as four
Australian Records. Jayne has also
won many medals at Australian,
Oceania and World Championships in
all five throwing disciplines.
Jayne is no stranger to receiving
accolades for both her remarkable
athletic performances or as an
outstanding club-person. Jayne has
twice won the Throwers’ Trophy
(women) for being our best and most
consistent “all-round” thrower (200001 and 2002-03) as well as being
named “Most Outstanding Female
Thrower” at the annual AMA Winter
Throwing Championships in 2003 and
2004. Her impressive record in the
Fristad Award for track and field
excellence acknowledges her
outstanding and consistent
performances by winning the trophy
in 2002 and 2003, being runner-up
three times (1998, 2001 and 2004)
and third twice (1999 and 2000). In
2002 she was honoured as Australian
Masters Athletics (AMA) “Female
Athlete of the Year”. Three years after
being awarded the 1999 Clohessy
Trophy she was presented with
another of our prestigious “clubperson” awards, the 2002 Johnson
Trophy for participation and service
throughout the track and field season.
It came as no surprise that in the
thirteen years of this award Jayne
became our first member to have their
name engraved on the Clohessy
Trophy twice.
Congratulations Jayne Hardy,
2004 Clohessy Trophy winner.
PATRON’S LIFE CHANGES WITH WIFE’S ILLNESS
JACK PENNINGTON, Patron of
the ACTVAC writes about how his
life has changed since Dot’s (his
wife) stroke.
I hope what I write of the recent
trauma that I have been through may
help other Club members.
My whole life has been changed
but not “upside down”. It seems that
at 82 I now have to work for my wife’s
health and future, and this time not
in theory but in practice.
My story started on November 6
at the Belconnen Senior Citizen’s
Club where we attended a senior’s
“Hawaiian Ball”. My wife Dot was the
only ‘girl’ in a grass skirt. Fortunately
every one of 50 couples was in
“Hawaiian” dress mode and the only
other grass skirt was worn by the
organiser and music presenter Les
Wells. Les is a WWII veteran of the
Middle East and New Guinea, and he
is only 86.
During the dancing, between 7.30
and 11pm, Dot was very clinging and
was pushing and pulling me all over
the place. However, after supper at 9
o’clock she became her normal self,
she is only a spring chicken of 78.
The next day, Sunday, we
attended her family’s (Harriot)
annual re-union at Sutton Hall. She
enjoyed herself but would not drive
home, we normally share the driving.
On the following Wednesday she
decided that she would not go to our
regular dance because she felt ‘offbalance’. I immediately took her to
her medical practice and told her to
tell the doctor that she may be having
another “mini-stroke”. She came our
half an hour later and said, “There’s
nothing wrong with me”.
The next day at 4pm while talking
on the phone, she fell lifeless in a
heap, the only life I could detect was
that she followed me with her eyes
and of course she was breathing.
Without delay I dialled 000 and the
crew was here with oxygen by
4.15pm. Needless to say the
ambulance crew was marvelous.
In Emergency three senior
medicos attended. They found almost
nil limb functions and had to force her
mouth open and clearly her tongue
was numb, the swallowing reflex was
also absent. Her prospects of survival
were not good. A specialist was
phoned and he advised an immediate
CAT scan of the brain because he
thought that an overwhelming
hemorrhage was imminent. She was
taken away and to everyone’s relief no
hemorrhage was evident, however,
there were three areas of scar tissue
and one was in the speech area.
Oddly I was, I think, cool, calm
and collected, at least until I had left
her on a drip and she had received
injections to reduce the clotting.
I was thoroughly questioned as to
her medical history, for instance, she
had suffered Pernicious Anaemia
since about 1990 and receives B12
injections every three weeks.
Pernicious Anaemia is caused by the
digestive system failing to produce
the ‘intrinsic-factor’, which affects the
absorption of the B vitamins.
Without B12 the bone marrow will
not produce red blood cells, which
effectively hold onto oxygen. The
consequence is a slow death, hence
‘pernicious’, yet there was no shortage
of iron.
Having said all that and despite
the many many pessimists, I was the
exception. She is today, November 25,
able to feed herself and to stand and
to sit in a chair without support and
to help with the handle of her bed, to
reposition herself, but is not yet able
to make conversation.
She has said, “Goodbye Charlie”,
“Take the radio home” as well as
“yes”, “no” and “good”. She fully
understands our conversations and
tries of act upon it, she can now hold
and use a spoon in her left hand, but
the right hand has no strength and
her right leg is unsupportive, but the
future is bright.
I have been in to feed her every
meal and I have organised her diet,
she is eating sufficient nutrients, so
that is of no concern. I have taken her
off tea and coffee, she only has black
currant and other fruit juices,
swallowing is difficult and so she is on
soft foods, no crusty breads but she
can munch biscuits, bananas and
chocolate.
My pre-breakfast routine is to
massage her legs and to brush her
MULTI EVENTS
Queensland have once again
accepted the responsibility of
organizing the AMA National Multi
events Championships for the next
three seasons. The dates for this
season are February, 19-20, 2005.
So for all athletes keen to
participate in the decathlon and
heptathlon, it is time to mark the
event on your calendar and to train
towards a very enjoyable weekend in
Brisbane where you can experience
the cameraderie of a multiple event.
Are you aware that the IAAF
Council has implemented an IAAF
Athletics World Plan which initially
has eight objectives? One of these
objectives is to have a 20% quota for
female representation on Councils,
Committees and Commisions at all
levels of administration.
Australia is doing very well in
Masters on this issue at both State
and National level. Congratulations
on the high female representation
which has been achieved without
any need for a quota. Let's look
forward to other athletic bodies
following in our footsteps.
Did you know that the IAAF
Council has approved to accept
results achieved in Mixed
Competition on a national and
regional level in Oceania for a trial
period of two years?
Masters
Athletics has had such a policy in
place for a number of years and it is
great to see that Masters wisdom is
carrying over into Open Athletics.

hair and insert combs, the rest is ‘up
to her’ as the specialist said.
The staff at Calvary Public is so
efficient and caring and especially so
with a 90-year-old with dementia that
I could not let them spend 45 minutes
feeding my wife, who better to feed
her than her lover.
However, there is one moral to
this story. Sadly my wife did not stop
smoking until the age of 57, and this
has caused hardening of the arteries.
And so after a fortnight of trauma,
I am having a ramp installed on our
back steps as well as handles in the
loo and shower. I now wait the result
of a conference on November 26,
because she will only survive if she
can see her own beautiful garden. You
name it and she’s got it.
I have met our own Elaine Cooper,
the Senior Physiotherapist at Calvary
and I have also met Joan Mallory
whose husband Al is in the next ward
to Dot. Fortunately Al will be out and
about by the time you digest this.
Talking of digesting, I am pretty good
at cooking with both the micro-wave
and the oven, but twice burnt my
dinner at night due to phone calls,
especially from my brothers in the
UK.
It is important to my wife that I
alone know exactly what is good for
her in terms of nutrition, because of
her lack of conversation.
For the health staff. It may or may
not be helpful for you to know that I
was Technical Officer in charge of the
Fitness Testing Laboratory at the
ANU Medical Centre from 1964 to
1983, in addition spent six months in
1972 doing experimental anaerobic
training at the UK College of Physical
Education in Exeter, the Physical
Education Department of Salford
University, the Freiburg University
Cardiac Centre and the Sports
Institute at Kabarovsk, Siberia,
USSR. I was also on the National
Coaching Committee of the
Australian Coaches Association from
1964 to 1985 (reference Dr Bryan
Furness now retired).

WORLD VETERANS ATHLETIC CHAMPIONSHIPS
BRYAN THOMAS began a series
on the history of the World
Veterans’
Athletics
Championships in the August
Vetrunner. As there have been
fifteen World Association of
Veteran Athletes (WAVA) or World
Masters
Athletics
(WMA)
Championships to date (from 1975
to 2003) the descriptions are
grouped and will be published
over several editions.
1. F o r m a t i v e Y e a r s , W A V A
established (1975 – 1979).
2. Away from Europe (1981 and
1983).
3. WAVA enters Olympic Stadiums
(1985 and 1987).
4. Far flung places (1989 – 1999).
5. We have another go and the 21st
Century (2001 – 2005).
September’s edition dealt with
the formative years when WAVA was
established, and last month the first
two championships staged outside of
Europe were outlined. This month
describes the two World
Championships that were conducted
in the Olympic Stadiums of Rome and
Melbourne.
W A V A
( n o w
W M A )
Championships have been held at
Toronto, Canada 1975, Gothenburg,
Sweden 1977, Hanover, Germany

Australia 2001, Carolina, Puerto Rico
2003 and will be held in San
Sebastian, Spain in August next year.
Part 3: WAVA enters Olympic
Stadiums (1985 and 1987). Rome
(Italy), June 1985:
A then record 4360 veteran
athletes (including 192 Aussies) from
48 nations participated in the 6th
World Veterans’ Athletics
Championships in Rome. Four
stadiums, including the 1960 Olympic
Stadium, were used in order to
conduct an event of this size and
complexity, however, the distances
between some venues caused criticism
from some competitors.
A highlight for many athletes was
a meeting with the Pope.
Six ACT Vets participated in
Rome; they were – Joy Bannister
(won a gold medal in the W55 400m
with a time of 73.67 which was then
an Australian Record), Arthur Brown,
Bob Chapman, Alan and Maggie
Johnson and Peter Waddell.
Melbourne (Australia), November
- December 1987:
The 7th World Veterans’ Athletics
Championships held in Melbourne
from November 28 to December 6
1987 was to be the first taste of
international veterans’ athletics for
most of our contingent of more than
100 club members. Many traveled to
and from Melbourne by coach and
train and stayed together in a very
basic hotel on the edge of the CBD.
At the time it was the world’s
largest athletics meet, with 4817
competitors (including a huge
contingent of 1800 green and gold
clad Aussies) from 51 countries.
Despite difficulties caused by three
days of torrential rain this was a high
quality, efficiently conducted and
friendly championships superbly
organised by the Victorian Veterans
Club under the leadership of Peg
Smith and Ray Callaghan.
The only events still not officially
available to women (22% of
participants in Melbourne) were pole
vault and steeplechase. The women’s
hammer throw, conducted as an
official competition for the first time,
surprised some dubious officials by
the event’s popularity and the quality
of performances.
The marathon, conducted on a
similar course to that of the 1956
Olympic Games, began before dawn
but by the time runners entered the
stadium for a final lap of the track
many were feeling the effects of a
very hot Melbourne morning.
Amongst the many Canberra
veteran athletes there were some
personal triumphs, many new
records, numerous PBs and even
some disappointments but all
returned with fond memories of both
the competition and social activities.
ACT gold medals were won by
Quentin Anthony M55 pentathlon,
Joy Bannister W60 400m, Joan
Hooper W50 5,000m walk 26.35.39
(World Record) and 10km road walk,
Peter Kallio M50 marathon 2.30.52
(Australian Record), Annette McNeill
W35 10,000m and Irene Mitchell W45
hammer 34.10m (World Record).
Silver medals were won by Joy
Bannister W60 200m, Ken Daniels
M50 pentathlon, Lindsay Hooper M60
1500m, Tony Murray M40 10,000m
and Margaret Taylor in the W35
triple jump.
Bronze medallists were Quentin
Anthony M55 400 hurdles and triple
jump, Joy Bannister W60 100m and
long jump, Tony Murray M40 1500m,
Dick Telford M40 1500m, David
Thompson M40 20km road walk,
Charlie Rann M60 hammer, Gwen
Vines 10km road walk and Mary
Wahren W50 hammer.
Relay team medals were awarded
to Quentin Anthony M55 4x400m
gold in a World Record time of 3.55.11
and 4x100m bronze, Margaret Taylor
W35 4x100m gold and Ken Daniels
M50 4x100m silver.
Bob Chapman M50, Joan Hooper
W50, David Thompson M40 and
Gwen Vines W40 each earned a gold
medal for their performances in the
road walk team’s event. Marathon
team gold medals went to – Mary Ann
Busteed W35, Liam Hanna M40,
Peter Kallio M50, Tony Luyendijk
M40, Keith Perroux M60 and Anne
Young W50. Medals in the crosscountry teams event were won by
Frank Green M45 silver, Jan
Williams W35 silver and Anne Young
W50 gold.
Bryan Thomas was one of five
Australian delegates to the WAVA
General Assembly.
The series continues with Part 4:
2004 MASTERS SPORT STAR
Prominent veteran and multi talented athlete, Lisa Wilson, took
out the ACTSport award in her category at a function held in the
National Convention Centre on Friday, December 2.
Lisa has taken part in many events locally as well as in New
Zealand and is a worthy winner..
Although the Vets have had athletes win one or more of the
monthly Sports Star Awards, this is the first time one of our
athletes has won the overall trophy.
Congratulations Lisa
BRYAN THOMAS continues his
look back into the past finding
out just how fast we really used to
be and how far we could throw
and jump.
20 YEARS AGO (December 1984).
M45 Wilf Deck wrote an article in
Vetrunner on his run in the 1982
Riyadh Marathon. He finished in
3.13.32 for 14th place and third
veteran. This performance earned a
ranking of 66 in our Top 100
marathoners.
Stuart Manley reported on his
3.09 run in the Boston Marathon.
M40 Bryan Thomas ran 2:46.34 to
win the 6th annual Nocturnal
Marathon. This was Bryan’s third
win in the six Nocturnals. M50 Stuart
Reid was fifth in 3.03, M35 Brian
Wenn made his marathon debut
running 3.05 and W35 Jo Cullen
finished in 3.09.

THE WAY WE
WERE . . .
Athletics Field for the month. Despite
a heavy grass track five new ACT
records were set for the mile; W30
Jan Williams 5.42, W40 Judy
Johnson 7.10, W45 Lyndall Hatch
6.05, M35 Geoff Moore 4.37 and M60
Jack Pennington 5.55.
W40 Irene Rollgejser (Mitchell)

records; W35 Jo Cullen 9.40m, W40
Irene Rollgejser 23.66, W45 Maureen
O’Shea 12.84 and W50 Mary Wahren
13.46m.
10 YEARS AGO (December 1994).
Jim O’Donnell was writing a
series of member profiles, this month
it featured John Hunt.
Jim White organized five teams of
8 runners (including a minimum two
women) of approximate equal ability
for the annual CCC Parliament
House Relays.
The Fourth Annual Chris Higgins
Memorial 800m Handicap attracted a
field of 49 runners of all ages and
abilities. W35 Elaine Cooper won, just
in front of M55 Tony Booth and W45
Margaret Taylor. W35 Elaine Cooper
400m in 62.9 and W50 Jen Bourke
javelin 27.30m set new ACT records.
Our final track and field meet of
the year (December 29) was a special
fun low-key affair at the Woden
Athletics Field organized by Geoff
Moore.
He arranged the competitors into
three teams in order to participate in
his Special Septathlon (seven events)
consisting of 100m, 400m, 800m and
3000m runs, long jump, shot put and
javelin throw.
WORLD MASTERS ATHLETIC PRESIDENT REPORTS
First of all I want to congratulate
Oceania for outstanding Oceania
Masters Championships in
Rarotonga, Cook Islands, in October.
Our WMA Delegate Monty Hacker
has circulated a report in which he
says that approximately 250 athletes
entered with performances on a very
high level which also included a
number of new world records.
I am impressed and do sincerely
again regret that I could not attend
these Championships as planned.
2004 is a year with Regional
Championships in all our six Regions
and most have been very successful
with Europe as usual as the biggest
with more than 3,700 athletes. Africa
had some bad luck with its
Championships in Cameroon which
led to low attendance and some
special measures must no doubt be
taken in Africa to raise its
Championships to the same level as
in the other five Regions.
Money to cover travelling and
accommodation is one very great
problem.
The Regional Association is fully
aware and perhaps one way could be
to divide Africa into three zones, i.e.
southern Africa, middle Africa and
Africa north of Sahara, and try to
organise Championships in each of
these zones in order to reduce costs
for the athletes.
The future for Africa must be a
very important issue the next years.
Bidders for 2008 World Indoors
The last days for bids to host the
2008 WMA World Masters Athletics
Championships Indoors was
September 1, 2004, and by end of the
day three bidders had given interest
to organise these Indoor
Championships, i.e. they were
Budapest, Hungary, Glasgow,
Great Britain and Lievin, France.
All three cities have wonderful
indoor arenas and have experience
from previous big meetings. WMA has
now planned its inspection visits to
the last week of January the next
year and after grading of the bidders,
they will be invited to present their
bids to the Council the days before
the Championships in San Sebastian.
The two best graded bidders will
then be presented at the General
Assembly which will finally decide.
Bidders for 2009 World Stadia
September 1, 2004, was the last
day also for bids to host the 2009
WMA World Masters Athletics
Championships Stadia and by end of
the day two bidders had given
interest to organise these
Championships, i.e. Lahti, Finland
and Århus (with Randers and
Silkeborg), Denmark.
Also these bidders are very well
experienced and will offer wonderful
Championships. The procedure is the
same as for the Indoor
Championships and as there are only
two bidders they will both present
their bids at the General Assembly in
San Sebastian which will decide who
will host the 2009 World Masters
Championships Stadia.
IAAF Gala in Monaco
The IAAF Gala in Monaco this
year was held on September 19 in
connection with the GP final. To us
masters it was a great moment as
IAAF for the first time also invited
the best male and the best female
master – in this case our best in 2004.
Based upon performances during the
year Guido Müller, Germany, was
chosen as the best male master in
2004 (five times World Indoor
Champion in Sindelfingen, seven
times European Champion in Århus
and seven world records) and
Jeanette Flynn, Australia, as the best
female master in 2004 (world records
over 800m and the mile).
This IAAF appreciation of our
masters’ performances will hopefully
become a tradition so that our best
masters will participate at the future
IAAF Galas and be honoured for their
performances. 2004 was a very good
start of this new tradition.
Proposals to the General
Assembly in San Sebastian
Proposals to the General
Assembly in San Sebastian next year
must be in the hands of the WMA
Secretary no later than 90 days before
the General Assembly, i.e. no later
than May 31, 2005. Information will
be circulated well in time before the
last day.
The Council will present a number
of proposals of which perhaps the
removal of our World Championships
Non-Stadia is the most important.
Our Non-Stadia Committee will soon
present its idea how the present NonStadia events can be split on the
Stadia
and
the
Indoor
Championships. Another Council
proposal will probably be to add
Mountain Running as an official
WMA World Championships event.
Discussions have started with WMRA
(World Mountain Running
Association) to see how cooperation
could be built up.
100km World Championships 2005
I would finally like to promote our
100km World Championships. We
had the first in Tainan, Taipei, last
year and the next will be in Lake
Saroma, Japan, on June 26 the next
year. These Championships are
technically organised by IAU
(International Association of
Ultrarunners) and I am sure the
Championships in Lake Saroma will
be on an equally high level as the one
in Tainan. We have so far not seen
any invitation brochure/booklet but as
soon as we have something will post it
and hopefully a website address on
our WMA website but those
interested in real long-running please
reserve June 26, 2005, for a visit to
Japan.
Finally I take the opportunity to
wish you all a very Merry Christmas
and a very Happy and Successful New
Athletics Year 2005!
TORSTEN CARLIUS, WMA President
“BURGLAR” WILL FOSTERS ANOTHER VICTORY
JENNY WALTON, your regular
handicap scribe, gives you all the
news about the final races for the
year and the presentation of the
annual awards.
Runners swelter at end of year
handicaps.
The final handicap events for 2004
were held at Weston Park at the start
of what ended up being a very hot
Sunday. It was a good turn out of 187
participants - a number of whom
were in the running (so to speak) for
awards. Post race this kept the
officials busy for sometime working
out the winners. It was a close
competition for the series winners
and the consistently fast age standard
awards with each series coming down
to the wire.
As for the course the Thomas
Series was an 8km two lap track
around the lake side of the nursery
and the maze, the Frylink Series was
a 4km one lap of the same course as
the Thomas and the Waddell was a
4km out and back in the direction of
the Governor-General’s residence.
Being the last handicap for the
year we all celebrated the winners of
the different awards before enjoying a
spit roast Christmas celebration
organized by the Social Committee.
THOMAS SERIES
The gold medal (for the third year
in a row) went to Roy Jones M60 from
a group 17 start in a net time of 43.52
and a per km rate of 5.29. Roy will
start in group 26 for his next event.
Not being a hill runner Roy considers
that he does well on the Weston Park
track because it’s quite flat. His goal
for next year is to run the Midnight
Sun Marathon held in Norway in
June.
Frylink AST percentages. Bob Chapman, left, was first in the percentages with
Cathy Montalto who was second. Anne Young took third place.
The silver medal was won by
Caroline Campbell W60 also from a
group 17 start in a net time of 44.13
and a per km rate of 5.32. Caroline
will start in group 24 for her next
event. Although the heat normally
affects Caroline’s pace she said that
she felt good during the run and was
able to maintain her pace to clinch
the second place. Caroline has just
returned from the Oceania Games in
the Cook Islands where she won gold
in the 5km track, 8km cross country
and half-marathon. Rest and recovery
is very important to Caroline so if she
feels like she can run then she does.
The bronze medal was won by
Geoff Moore M55 from a group 32
start in a net time of 34.51 and a per
km rate of 4.21. Geoff will start in
group 44 for his next event. Coming
back from several long term injuries
Geoff does three speed sessions per
week which has enabled him to
reduce his rate on the track. His goals
for next year are to run track in
Brisbane in March and he is
considering attending the Masters in
Adelaide in October to run the half
marathon, 5km track and 8km cross
country run.
There were two runners with a
per km rate of under four minutes –
they were Peter James M40 at 3.42
and Greg Dutton-Regester M40 at
3.58. A further 25 people had a per
km rate of under 5 minutes. Only two
of the 25 were women – Debbie
Cowell W45 and Maria O’Reilly W45.
The Thomas Series overall
pointscore winner for the year was
Will Foster 1052 followed by John
Kennedy 1026 and Robbie Costmeyer
and Peter Kallio 1000 – a tie for third
place.
The Thomas Series consistently
fast age standard award was won by
Kent Williams 87.34% and he was
followed by Peter Kallio 86.86% and
Bernie Millett 84.43%.
There were 99 participants.
FRYLINK SERIES
The gold medal was won by Frank
Nugent M45 from a group 13 start in
a net time of 24.25 and a per km rate
of 6.06. Frank will start in group 24
for his next event.
The silver medal was won by Bev
Breen W50 from a group 16 start in a
net time of 25.12 and a per km rate of
6.18. Bev will start in group 21 for
her next event.
The bronze medal was won by Ken
Gordon M40 from a group 44 start in
a net time of 15.54 and a per km rate
of 3.58. Ken will start in group 49 for
his next event. Ken came back to
running last year after a 14 year
break where he was mostly playing
team sports. A previous track runner
it was last years Masters Games that
attracted Ken’s attention, so he ran
400m on the track and won a bronze
medal. In the winter he trained with
Geoff Moore’s group and really
enjoyed the atmosphere and
enthusiasm that came with group
training – rather than trying to train
as an individual. Next year he aims to
continue to improve and may attend
the Masters in Adelaide.
Award winners. Robin Whyte, above left, was second in the Waddell Series best
AST percentages. The winner this year went to Dave Mackenzie with Monika
Short third.
On the right is Cilla Chapman who has now completed 100 events in the handicap
series.
Ken Gordon M40 was the only
person with a per km rate of under 4
minutes at 3.58. The following people
had a per km rate of less than 5
minutes: Elaine Cooper W45 4.06,
Brian McLachlan M40 4.32, Gary

of the Booth variation to the Adler
Spiral Series and the Pennington
Middle Distance Series.
THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD
The 2004 Encouragement Award
was won by a well deserving Kent and
Lynn Williams. Both willing and
capable workers, Kent and Lyn are
always one of the earliest to arrive
and last to leave each monthly
handicap – especially in the last three
years and go about their tasks so
quietly and efficiently that many are
unaware as to the amount and
complexity of work they perform.
Kent and Lynn are very
enthusiastic competitors who over
their 14 year membership with the
Vets have participated in marathons,
half marathons, cross-country, track
and monthly handicaps. They
received their 100 handicap event Tshirts at Mt Taylor in July 2003.

DON’T FORGET
THE WATER
Runners and walkers in
the monthly handicaps are
reminded that it is each
competitor’s responsibility
to carry water when
competing in the summer
events, especially in the
longer runs.
You don’t have to carry a
large drink bottle, a half
filled one would be
adequate.
There are no drink stations
in any handicaps races.

THE JANUARY HANDICAPS AT CAMPBELL PARK
The first handicap races for 2005
will be held at Campbell Park on
Sunday, January 30. NOTE: ALL
RACES START A 8.30am
How to get there: Turn off
Fairbairn Ave at Northcott Drive and
follow the road to the right around
the outside of the car park to the far
Northeast corner. (Yellow Page map
reference Map 60 G3)
Course Description: All three
courses start about 20m North of the
car park boundary road and about
60m West of the red gate.
The course follows a track which
veers to the left. Just before the
nature park fence the course turns
right and follows the fence line,
turning right again. About 850m from
the start turn left at the gate and
horse stile and enter the nature park.
Follow the track at right angles to the
fence which leads to the eastern
boundary of the nature park.
The Frylink and Waddell courses
turn around at the 1.5k mark and
return to the start . The Thomas
course continues along the fence line
with a brief detour around a dam. At
about the 3k mark the course veers to
the left and joins the main Mt Ainslie
track after about 700m. This track is
followed for about 300m to the
turnaround point (3k). The course
then returns to the start.
NEW START TIMES
Following the discussion at
the November handicap the
Handicap Sub-Committee has
decided to change the start time
for the 2005 January, February
and November handicaps to
8:30am. All other handicaps will
start at the usual time of 9:00AM.
It was considered that a change
to an 8:00AM start would place
too much pressure on those
people who had to mark courses
on the Sunday morning.
UPDATED RULES FOR THE MONTHLY HANDICAPS
The updated rules for the Club’s
Running/Walking Handicaps for
2005.
Group
Allocation
and
Adjustments
New participants are allocated a
group, determined by the
handicapper, based on the
participant’s stated ability.
Thereafter Group Adjustments are
made for a participant according to
the Group Adjustment Rules
indicated below. Kilometre Rates are
adjusted by dividing by the course
difficulty factor.
Handicap Adjustments
1. Adjusted Km Rate faster than
Group rate – Adjust to group
which matches adjusted Km Rate.
2. Adjusted Km Rate slower than
rate for next slowest group –
Adjust forward one group if
average adjusted rate for recent
events is also slower than rate for
next slowest group.
Handicapper’s Discretion
The Handicap Subcommittee
reserves the right to make other
handicap adjustments in the interests
of fair play, sportsmanship and of the
credibility of Handicap events.
Eligibility
and
Points
Accumulation
Participants are deemed
ineligible to score points for an event
if:
They have participated in less
than two of the previous 5 events
(Coded as 1 in eligibility column –
One event of last 5 completed: Coded
as 2 in eligibility column – all of last 5
events missed); or
They do not compete from their
allocated group (Coded as G in
eligibility column), or
They are not full financial
members of the club when the event
starts. (Day members are not
eligible).
Points are awarded as follows
150 points (Thomas Series), 75
points (Frylink Series) and 40
points (Waddell Series) are
awarded to the first eligible
participant, reducing by 1 point for
each eligible participant thereafter to
a minimum of one point.
A participant’s eight highest
point scoring events will be counted
toward their Series aggregate
pointscore.
Awards will be made to the first
three placegetters at the end of the
series. If two or more participants
finish with equal points both (or all)
will receive awards.
Age Standard Awards
Awards for the top three
performers (male or female) in each of
the handicap series (Thomas, Frylink
and Waddell) judged against World
Masters Athletics (WMA) standards.
Based on performance over best eight
events against WMA age group
standards (one year age groups) and
adjusted to correct for course
difficulty. To record a score which
counts towards this award a
participant must be a full financial
member of the ACTVAC when the
event starts.
Starting Procedures
Participants should note their
start Group from the notice board and
be ready to compete when that group
is called. Participants who do not
start from their correct start group
must report their actual start group
when their placing is recorded at the
end of the event.
ACHIEVING GOALS AND GOAL SETTING
If you are anything like me you will
start each new year with a fresh set of
goals – sometimes recycled from previous
years, sometimes new ones.
My goals are probably not like the
typical new year resolutions of nonathletes. Most performance oriented
athletes tend not to have hazy visions of
possible futures which disappear after
only a few weeks.
They seem to be able to turn their long
term goals and dreams into reality, with a
little thought and planning.
Rarely are our goals couched in
general terms like “get fitter”, “lose
weight”, “improve times”. Usually our
goals are more specific, like “break 30
seconds for 200m this year, or ” knock five
minutes off my 10km time over the next
two years”. Let’s think about our long
term, or “dream” goals. How can we best
work towards making them a reality?
First, write down your goals, then
discard any vague statements and replace
them with more specific statements.
Second, having decided on a goal that you
want to achieve, be committed to achieving
the goal. Is it something you will be able to
give priority to? Are the rewards of
achieving it worth the effort involved?
Then third, do you believe you can achieve
the goal? Goals should be challenging but
also achievable, otherwise you will only
get discouraged.
Last, the process of working towards
your goal should be broken down into a
number of steps, and you should plan to
focus on only one step at a time.
Short term goals are the steps in the
ladder of success.
In competition, what kinds of short
term goals do we athletes have? First
there are “outcome” goals. Examples are –
win a race; beat an opponent. These are
the hardest to achieve as the outcome is
not entirely in our control but also relies
on how others perform. Then there are
“performance” goals – run a particular
time, clear a particular height. Coaches
prefer working with performance goals
rather than outcome goals because
performance goals are easier to monitor
and manage.
Finally there are “technique” goals –
such as, start fast and decisively when the
gun fires; hold form through the finish
line.
Best results are probably obtained
when all three types of short term goals
are in mind.
Attributes of good short term goals
include – realistic and achievable – and
specific and measurable – and allow you to
take control – and target a particular time
or time frame (rather than “sometime”) –
and are couched in positive terms. Space
(and time!) prevent me from expanding on
these – so think of some examples from
your discipline which illustrate these
points.
An example of a short term training
goal - this week I ran a session of ten
200m intervals averaging 45 seconds. Next
week I will repeat the session and target
44 seconds.
An example of short term racing goals
- a marathon. I divide it into segments 115km, 15-30km, 30-35k, 35-40km, and 40finish. I have a different focus for each
segment e.g. pace judgement; then
relaxation; then acceleration; then countdown the kms, then attack!!
Fellow athletes, so much of our sport is
journey, so little is destination. Let us
devise ways of making the journey
interesting, varied, challenging, and
rewarding. With me, set your goals, and
enjoy the trip. Fly goose fly!
