Belair/Blackwood MTBO 3 Hour Score Event 14 May 2016

Course by Kay Haarsma, Organiser Gerry Velaitis

A fine day attracted a number of enter-on-day  riders, in addition to pre-entries,  to sample the delights of Belair park trails and the hills of suburban Blackwood.

To simplify the event, all controls were worth 10 points each, which also helped focus attention on time and efficiency.

 Andrew Slattery took top placing with 5 minutes to spare, and collected all but 2 controls.   Andrew was still speculating afterwards whether he might have been able to collect one of the remaining 2, but, at the time,  erred on the side of caution.   Such is the nature of this event.!

Kudos to Simon and Kristi for taking very their two junior MTBO-ers in tow to some of the steeper track networks in Belair.

 

Main results: 

Men - Andrew Slattery 230; Bruce Greenhalgh 190; David Couche 180

Women: Zara Soden 170; Jenny Casanova 140; Carolyn Strong 110

Pairs: Neville & Louise George 140; Peter Thorpe & Martin Weishaupt 130

Family: Simon & Kristi Mulvihill +2 = 60
