BASP #1 - McLaren Park - the BIG runup!

It was a fine day of racing for Team AC and the extended family (Isaiah and Bjorn).

Here are the results:

Juniors 10-14:
1st: Spence Peterson (with the Leader’s Jersey)
2nd Bob Siegel
3rd Alex Howard (nee Haywood)
4th Skyler Taylor
5th Irrelevant

Juniors 15-18:
1st Isaiah Rapko
2nd Bjorn Fox
3rd-5th Irrelevant

On the “adult” side, Peter Sobrero and Blair Peterson held down the Masters 35+ and 45+ respectively, and finished close to each other at the end.

We took some photos, which can be seen (and downloaded) here:

Our friend, Jack French, came out to watch Bob and the boys run the course, and took a number of really nice shots (he has both better camera skills and a MUCH better camera than we do ;-) – I expect we’ll have a Flickr link for you soon. Some of his photos may be suitable for framing ;-)

I’m sure Blair and Peter may have comments about the course – it looked very tough and appeared to never let up – the steep run-up was followed by one hard charge after another – but the weather was cool and cloudy which made it much more bearable for all.

It was a great morning of racing, and Team AC seems well positioned to dominate the BASP series!

Also, I posted a short video of the run-up section – all of the boys are in it – Bjorn, Isaiah, Spence, Alex, Bob and Skyler…
