That makes for an unbelievable pace of just less than 4 minutes per kilometre!
Seniors Nic Acampora (2h54m), Ross Olivier (2h57m), Blake Mackay-Leslie (2h57m) and Stuart Schabram (3h1m) were not far behind.
Gillian Sieling had perhaps the best performance of everyone, finishing 4th in the 50-59 category which was good for 89th overall.
Her time of 3h19m meant that she comfortably broke the coveted 5 minutes per kilometre time barrier, showing that she can still compete with the best.
