Great news for the Uringa camp at the World Masters; both Maureen and Dick made it to the A finals of their respective classes, W75 and M65 !! Our expat Sibylle has also made the A final in W40.
It appears that day 1 of the long distance qualifying took place in very runnable, open type, flat terrain as times seemed to be quite fast. Must have been tricky area though, as Maureen took 1h 44 mins to get around her course, while Dick was 18 mins down on the leader in his heat.
Sibylle put in a very solid race in her heat, but we know that she is good in these technical areas.
Day 2 of qualification in the long distance, saw Maureen putting in an excellent performance to come in 5th, only 10 minutes behind the leader, a massivly improved performance and she must really be in a chance for a medal now. Dick also had a great run, finishing 8th, 10 mins down on the leader. While Sibylle had another solid race in what I dare say was another technically challenging area.
The final kicks off Friday, 6th August and apart from our hopes for Maureen to medal, there are a few other Aussies who have great chances to get a podium finish: Tracy Bluett and Natasha Key (W35), Hermann Wehner (M85), Jenny Bourne (W55), and Warren Key (M50) who really dominated his heat.
Good luck, Maureen, Dick and Sibylle !!!
