The Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon

There was the phantom knee pain, the onset of a cold, lost gels, chance of rain, ummm... I think that will do with the excuses. But to say I didn't want to race was an understatement.

Alas, a beautiful Sydney morning came, along with 10,000 other nutters I did the Half Marathon and actually had a great time.

Despite my incredibly short attention span, I finished and took great pleasure in passing 300 people, who blew up... did it in 83 minutes, but unfortunately spent far longer than one would have liked looking for post-race coffee.

Along with the coffee came post race delirium, 2 runners, and an unforgettable supporter loitered in Darlinghurst - Hunger does odd things

Jindabyne Bike Camp

It has been a busy couple of weeks with lots of training... so much so it Christmas seems so long ago. On the 2nd of January me along with a number of Bondi Fitters joined East Cycling club and headed to 5 days for climbing the Snowy Mountains. I didn't know what to expect, but I never expected it to be as tough as it was. But it was more rewarding than I ever could have expected. Who would have thought climbing hills, and doing 120km on the bike every day in 30+ degrees could be enjoyable. But it was great, and to finish off the camp with a 40km Time Trial upto Charlotte's Pass into an incredible head wind was amazing.
