Knackered results By Justin Beddall Despite muddy conditions, some new course records became clear at the 14th annual Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run on Saturday. In the men’s division, the race’s record book was almost completely re-written, as course records fell in two of the three age categories. The fastest time was turned in by North Vancouver’s Colin Dignum. In his first attempt at the gruelling 30-mile race, the accomplished marathoner and four-time Grouse Grind champion turned in a time of four hours, 43 seconds — just 32 seconds shy of the course record of 4:45:11 set in 1991 by Peter Findlay of Kamloops. Whistler’s Kevin Titus, another first-timer, was just behind Findlay with a time of 5:12:43, which eclipsed the previous masters (40 to 49 years) record by just 22 seconds. That record was set in 1996 by Vancouver’s Peter Ladner (then 47 years old) who returned to compete in the NSTR this year and set a record in the veterans (over 50 years) division. The women’s division saw an extremely close finish, with just over one minute seperating the first two competitors crossing the finish line. In her second attempt at the race, 27-year-old Vancouverite Jacquie Trudeau finished just ahead of North Vancouver’s Patricia Jensen. Trudeau’s time of 6:05:26 was 23 minutes better than his second-place finish in 2000. First-time entrants were victorious in the other women’s categories: North Van’s Kristin Fox took first place in the masters division in a time of 6:16:20, just five minutes off the record set by Nola Patterson in 1996. In the veterans division, Carly Mcfetridge of North Vancouver was first overall with a time of 8:37:07. |
