MIGHTY DENT PERFORMANCE

Commonwealth Games steeplechase star Martin Dent slashed 8 minutes
from the course record held by dual mountain running international
John Winsbury to win today's Jaggad Bush Capital Bush 16kms in a
scintillating 51 mins 19 seconds. Nick-named 'Mighty Marty' by his
running mates Dent added the hilly trail run around Mt Ainslie to his
accomplishments in the last 12 months which have included 4th in the
Commonwealth Games steeplechase on the track, 1st in the Australian
cross country and 1st in the Australian half marathon on the road.
Dent's training partner, Australian road running representative
Anthony Haber, was 2nd in 52:41 and former national junior champion
Erwin McCrae was third in 53:06.
Three-time Australian mountain running representative Fiona Jorgensen
set a new course record by almost 8 minutes of 73:16 in the women's
race, with Australian duathlon representative Vicki Godfrey second in
74:18 and Kim Chisholm third in 76:03.
The cool but sunny conditions also contributed to record breaking
performances in other events. Perry Blackmore ran 3:05:15 to win the
42km Bush Marathon and break his own course record, with Wollongong's
Vanessa Haverd lopping half an hour off the women's record in running
3:47:56. In the 60km Bush Capital Bush Ultra, former Australian
rogaining champion David Singleton slashed 5 minutes off the record
in clocking the extraordinary time of 4:24:03. Dual world rogaining
champion Julie Quinn was only just outside her own record in running 5:20:36.
In the 25km run Christine Pauling ran 2:03:45 to better her own
record while Jeffrey Glick's 1:41:18 was just over 3 minutes outside
Vince Craig's 2005 record.
