2014 Mid-Winter Rogaine
"Jumping the Puddles" - 2014 Mid-Winter 4hr Event, Googong Reservoir, Sunday 13 July 2014
A gloriously sunny day greeted the 200 competitors of the winter 4h rogaine "Jumping the Puddle" at Googong Dam on Sunday 13th July. The frost had cleared by the time teams headed off from the Woolshed on an enjoyable course set by Andrew Rowe (with assistance from Peter Young and Clare Lonergan). Controls led teams to surprising and spectacular views across the dam and Queanbeyan River.
The overall winners were Matthew Crane and Thomas Brazier with 1070 points. Lee Rice, Michael McCluskey and Charlotte Peterson won the Mixed Open with 760 points while Gail Sutton and Phoebe Chadwick-Masters won the Women’s Open with 570 points. Jo Andrews and Peter Fogarty won the Men’s Veterans (620), Carol Harding and Pat Miethke the Women’s Veterans (450), and Graham Atkins and Karen Trutwein the Mixed Veterans (400). John Harding and Monika Short won the Mixed Superveterans (350) while Anne Sawkins and Ann Stewart the Women’s Superveterans (290).The junior and family categories were won by the Pirroinens (both on 600 points) with bragging rights going to the juniors Jesse and Christian coming in 13 mins earlier than Ari, Madeleine and Bryn.
A special thanks to John Harding for sharing his great shots from the event.
