Melbourne Marathon
11th October, 2009
What a great day!!! Brilliant
weather, great atmosphere, excited runners and a big challenge…what more could
we ask for. It set the scene for fantastic results in every event. It was great
watching, and even after riding 65km on my bike still didn’t see everyone…which
I was sorry about.
The support our group was
able to give on course was wonderful – thanks to Ben, Joel & Shaun for great
cheering.
But the stars of our show
were the runners, with PB’s and goal times achieved across the board.
