CoolRunning Webwatch was an email list that sent you an almost-daily
email with all the latest athletics news from an Australian
perspective. It contained URLs (web site addresses) to as many media
articles as could be found - mainly from the daily papers - to save
you hours and hours of hunting for them.

It was started in Aug 1999 by Doug Fry and run solely by him, after
CoolRunning approached him as he was sending these emails to the
Oztrack email list.

CoolRunning Webwatch was totally free and we didn't try to sell
anybody anything.

The archive of CoolRunning Webwatch emails are still available at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coolrunningwebwatch/ however we stopped
this service in November 2008, mainly due to Doug's ill health but
also because the world has changed and its now a lot easier to find
news about running in the mainstream media with updated tools (refer
the Coolrunning homepage at http://www.coolrunning.com.au for the best
set of news we can collate).

Many thanks to Doug Fry for so much effort over the years and hope you
can overcome your health issues.

In a few days we will remove all emails from the list.

Many thanks for having subscribed to us.

In this spacious isle I think there is not one
But he hath heard some talk of Hood and Little John,
Of Tuck, the merry friar, which many a sermon made
In praise of Robin Hood, his outlaws, and their trade.

Jaggad Bush Capital Bush Marathon Festival
Campbell High School, ACT
Saturday 29 July

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.
