Results: Round the Bridges

10 November 2002
Hamilton

Dale Warrander Dale Warrander almost dismissively described it as "a time trial". But to everyone else, his winning run in the Round the Bridges race in Hamilton yesterday was nothing short of a magnificent solo effort.

The 29-year-old from New Plymouth, who races for Auckland's Bays Cougars, confirmed his status as one of New Zealand's top distance runners when he scorched around the lengthened 12km course in 36min 57s. That's an astonishing time considering the speed-unfriendly nature of much of the cobbled-path route.

Warrander, a late entrant, led from the start and finished out of sight of all other competitors. He breezed home 1min 42s ahead of second-placed Kent Hodgson to claim his first Bridges title from four attempts.

"I was thrown off a couple of times because I am not familiar with the Waikato, but the course was well marshalled," Warrander said. "I just looked to get a good rhythm in what was basically a time trial for me." Warrander is now planning a 3-6 month crack at the financially lucrative US road racing scene in April, running everything from 5km to half marathons.

But it was a bittersweet finish for Hamilton Hawks legend Hodgson, who prepared for the race in typical fashion by sinking a six-pack of Heinekens on the eve of the race. It continued Hodgson's excellent recent form, though there was also a degree of frustration at his third successive second placing in the event.

"It was always a question of whether my legs could recover from running a half-marathon last week," he said, after finishing in 38.39. "It was always going to be a tough course. Then when I saw Dale on the starting line I knew it would be even tougher. "I stayed with him for the first 3km, but we ran the first 1km far too fast." CYM's Tony Olsen was third, a further 26s back.

Melanie Dravitski (Lyndale) won the women's race in 45:14 from Counties-Manukau's Donna Churton.
