Ballantyne Cup, Hutt River Stopbanks, Lower Hutt, 7 July 2007

Typical weather for these races: a cold southerly, a dash of rain. What was new was a new course to the north of the Railway Bridge for the first time since the early 1960s. Apart from the uncertain distances, the new terrain was generally well received by the 20 and overs - a mixture of paved path, gravel, grass, puddles and mud. Because of the new course for the seniors, I measured it on Map My Run (Google Earth) and got 9.4k.  Peter Maunder used a surveyors' database and added up pieces to total 7.8k or so. Someone else ran his GPS watch during the race and hit 9k. In the table below, I've used 9k to work out the average speeds. So take these distances and speeds cum grano salis.

For the J-team race over 2.7k (roughly, again according to MMR), first boy under handicap was Sean Beresford (winner of the boys Junior Handicap Cup), while first girl was Christina Gardner (winner of the Piano House Trophy). They'll be awarded the cups once retrieved them from last year's winners!  Fastest girl (and quickest overall) was Jemima Holborow (Nesdale), with Keegan McLeod the fastest boy. 

As for the senior juniors (W19s and M19s), winner of the junior women's Shirley Barton Trophy over 5.4k (approx) was Claire Hodge. For the junior men, Hector Farmer was again the winner of the Sir Ian McLellan Cup. Fastest over the course was Hector, while Nicole Mitchell took that honour for the women.

In the seniors' handicap race (9kish), winner of the women's Shirley Barton Trophy was Angela Campbell, with Mandy Simpson and Jacinda Papps, second and third. As for the men, Ross Lake won the 86-year-old Ballantyne Cup (his first ever handicap win in eight years of trying), holding out Simon Maister, Bob Russell and Glen Wallis. Fastest woman was Jacinda Papps ahead of Natalie Smith and Aubrey Begley, while Melburnian Julian Cook was the quickest bloke, with Todd Stevens and Graeme Lear as runners-up.

Thanks to our starters and time and place keepers (John Turner, Peter Maunder, Steve Plowman), marshals (Rees Buck, Alan Stevens, David Colquhoun, Christine Farmer, Jim Kerr and Bev Hodge), and handicappers (Robyn Holland, Don Dalgliesh and Bob Stephens).

Our walkers went out earlier along the stopbanks for a training walk.
