Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Agent Orange Oh yes, what a race!  Gathered in the pre-dawn darkness along with 4000 others just north of Surfers Paradise.  The race started at 6.30am with the sun rising over the water.  A slow first kilometre till the race sorted itself out, then hit a steady pace between 4.50 and 4.58 per km (km markers rather than mile markers seemed a help).  Despite hardly having run for the last couple of weeks I felt good, but didn't want to push.  However, I found I was banging in one sub-5 km after another.  18 in all to get me to the 19km mark.  It was a struggle towards the end but by then people were lining the roads, and high fives from the crowd plus Aussie shouts of

Bew V ill the week before.  Diarrohea and Sickness even the night before.  Took lots of Imodium.  Decided to take time and help Maryke under 2 hours.  All fine until 15K - 16K then just went - no energy, legs in pain and bad cramps - the illness had kicked in.  Last 5 k took 40 mins - it was embarrassing.  very frustrated as was overtaken by all manner of people.  Got to do another now!!!
