Summer Series 4 - Hunts Creek (take 2)

Friday, 3 November 2006

After spending all afternoon at the area, when people rocked up and then seemed reluctant to start, it was a bit of a let-down. Eventually someone cracked and the first people out were also first back.

The early leaders

As time went on, the finish and results processing people came under strain, but our start officials remained calm.

We are so calm.

Whilst the start of the Sprint final was only a 5-10 minute walk from the assembly area, the finish was 2.4 km away, quite a feat when the longest course was the same distance. Best result for Big Foot runners was Tracy Bluett's 12th place in W35A, although ex-foot Mike Billinghurst came 11th in his new class, M50.
QB3 - 28 year run comes to an end ! Monday, 21 June 2010 Eoin's 28 year run without a mis-punch came to an end at the QB3 sprint event. A deceptively tricky course around two school campuses was the taster before two days of great bush orienteering.
Succesful Defence of Metro League Premiership Tuesday, 1 June 2010 Big Foot have successfully defended their A-grade metro league title under the captaincy of Simon "Gold Gold Gold" George. A solid off-the-bench run by Ant Burnett covered Paul Marsh's late withdrawal. More details to follow shortly.

Easter Monday - 5 class winners ! Monday, 5 April 2010 In a somewhat surprising end to the Easter 3 days, Big Foot ended up with 5 class winners - about the same as the number of classes we normally compete across. Congratulations to Jock, Miles, Eoin, Alastair and Rachel.
Easter Sunday - Run(s) of the Day: Alastair, Kerrin & Rachel Sunday, 4 April 2010 Great runs from Alastair, Kerrin & Rachel who all did almost the same time for their course were the Little Feet highlights.

Easter Saturday - Run(s) of the Day: Eoin wins & Tracy hits back ! Saturday, 3 April 2010 Wins for new feet Eoin Rothery (M50A) and Miles Ellis (M35A) started the day and in the late-starting W21E Tracy Marsh made up for her disappointing race in the prologue with a sizzling run on the complex granite of Namadgi, placing 2nd.
Good Friday - Run of the Day: Mike shows elites a thing or two sprints Friday, 2 April 2010 While a lot of Big Feet at Easter chose to miss the prologue, held at ADFA (Duntroon), and others ran the medium course, Mike Burton had a stellar run on the elite sprint course.
Summer Series wins locked-in Thursday, 18 March 2010 Mike Burton, Mary Fien and Wendy Stevenson have won their respective Summer Series divisions with weeks to go. Congratulations to all three.
Sydney Sprint Series - Balls Head Monday, 8 March 2010 Andy Hill was top of the pile at Big Foot's Sprint series race today, planned by Jock Davis using Garingal's Balls Head map. Thanks Jock, Terry and Garingal for helping Big Foot put on a fun event. Tracy Marsh continued her excellent Sprint form and must surely be warming as a contender for Big Foot Sprints.

Membership 2010 Monday, 1 February 2010 Membership for 2010 is now due. Details of how to pay electronically have been sent out to the email list.
Gamekeeper turns poacher Monday, 18 January 2010 Michael Burton, fresh from planning last week's excellent Summer Series has grabbed his first win in the Sydney Sprints after a couple of third places. Provisional results from today's race put him almost 30 seconds clear of second place.
Easter 3 Days - BF accommodation plans Monday, 18 January 2010 For those planning on going down to Canberra for the 3 days at Easter, Paul Marsh reviews the main camping and cabin options.
Sydney Sprints hots up for Big Foot runners Sunday, 17 January 2010 The more technical nature of the Sydney Sprint series is drawing big Big Foot numbers to the races.
