Flight Centre Epic/Australian Marathon championship - NE
Queensland, Australia, September 3, 2006
Gordon Wins The Flight Centre Epic
|
At the end of 110 punishing off-road kilometres, looks can certainly be deceiving for although Cannondale's Craig Gordon appeared spent after more than four hours in the Australian wilderness during the fourth Flight Centre Epic, his reply to the question, how much did you suffer out there? .. came quick and sharp. "I don't blow up, it just doesn't happen," Gordon said with the confident aura, one can only associate with champions.
And a champion he certainly is! The inaugural Australian Marathon Mountain Bike Champion to be more precise, Gordon clocked off duty at the picturesque Peppers Hiddenvale Retreat, some four hours, ten minutes and eleven seconds after starting his day at the Preston Peak winery near Toowoomba. The time was well outside of the race record set by Murray Spink in 2005, but on a sticky track, Gordon's ride was arguably of just as high a quality as that of the previous year's winner.
Better still, he did it alone for most of the journey, without the help of any fellow competitors, who might have been of assistance on the long road sections. "I think I went at about the 25 kilometre mark," Gordon said. "I thought the bunch would have come back to me on the road, but they didn't."
Inaugural Australian Marathon Champion crowned
|
More than one thousand competitors set off in a series of waves in the Flight Centre Epic of 2006. The race was divided into two divisions, with the 110 kilometre Epic, and the half distance, Pure Blonde Half Epic, which started mid-course. Persistent rain during the week leading up to the event had race organizers cautious, knowing the reputation the black soil country around the famed Ma Ma Creek has for turning to slush when the weather goes bad. Fortunately, conditions proved to be much better than expected, with the track drying out overnight to a sunny, warm day, especially warm for the interstate visitors from Australia's south.
Fittingly, the 110kilometre Flight Centre Epic started alongside a memorial to the Late R.M.Williams. For the benefit of Cyclingnews international readers, Williams was a legendary Australian horseman, cattleman and boot maker, whose love of the bush led the establishment of the National Trail which The Epic follows for much of its journey.
A man of discerning taste, Williams might even have given a seal of approval to the elite field lined up in the Epic of 2006, which featured the best of the best of Australian endurance mountain biking, given the race was doubling as the inaugural MTBA Marathon Mountain Bike Championship.
With Murray Spink returning to defend his 2005 Epic Title, winning in 2006 was always going to be a tough ask. Especially with the likes of Craig Gordon, Shaun Lewis, Nick Both, Matt Fleming and Tim Bennett to contend with. It didn't take long, however, for the field to thin out as the rocky sections along the descent of Ma Ma Creek, took their toll in pinch flats. "I lost the leaders early on when I flatted and Murray Spink also flatted,"
Shaun Lewis recalled of his early race disappointment. "I got with Tim Bennett, we got second and third, so not too bad for the day."
Second placed Tim Bennett had focused his mental preparation on the second stage of the race, the long, though not overly steep, climb of Razorback Mountain, which follows on from the descent of Ma Ma Creek. "With a race like this my one goal was just to be in the front bunch over the razorback climb," Bennett said. "Once you're in the front group you're a chance of winning the race."
It was a case of Craig Gordon simply being far too strong on the day for Bennett, who still emerged from the race with plenty of positives. "Yeah I have a fair bit of confidence because my legs weren't hurting and I knew that there was something left there," an enthused Bennett said of his race effort.
" I just had to time my attack, I'm really looking forward to the Scott 24 Hour in a few weeks."
Straight To The Pool Room For Thomas
|
Although struggling to deal with the Queensland heat, Mount Beauty's Tori Thomas, still had her sense of humour intact at race end as she claimed the inaugural MTBA Australian Women's Marathon Mountain Bike Championship crown. "Straight to the pool room," was where Thomas planned to send her race trophy .. that's an Australianism for .. on the mantlepiece. "It's a very sweet victory," she said as she cooled down at Peppers Hiddenvale.
Thomas didn't do it all alone. A common tactic in endurance mountain biking, Tory brought her partner along for the ride, and made him work like a dog! "It was like a road race out there and I was just managing cramp the whole time," Thomas said of the Epic experience. "My partner Tim rode with us, put in a Trojan effort."
It was on the climbs where Thomas managed to shake a determined Emma Colson. The latter rider showing in volumes of sweat, that those green and gold championship stripes around her jersey collar, really meant something. "I ended up with Tory and Tim, couldn't really ride away," an exhausted Colson told Cyclingnews. "I was coming up to one of the last climbs about twenty k's to go, I just didn't have the legs at that point. It's disappointing, I came here to win and came second, Tory was better today, that's how it goes."
Stars Come Out to Play
It wasn't just the stars of mountain biking on show at the 2006 Flight Centre Epic. Keeping a low profile in the field were former ironman legend turned world class adventure racer Guy Andrews and former World Triathlon Champion Miles Stewart, who participated in the Pure Blonde Half Epic.
When Cyclingnews caught up with Miles post-race he appeared to be feeling the heat, but was loving the atmosphere of the sport. "That was great fun out there, I haven't really trained for it, a bit different to being on a road bike" said Stewart. "Next year I think I'll train up and come back and have a crack at the 100k event."
