Results and more photos on Page 14 At the completion of the first lap, Team 3 was in the lead; with Team 6 and Team 4 hot on their heels. Team 4 ran a quick second lap which allowed them move up to first place, pushing Team 3 into second, whilst Team 2 moved up to third. The top three teams retained this order until the final lap. Unfortunately for Team 3 it appears they “hit the wall” on the final lap of the marathon relay. After running the fastest lap of any team (Lap 1 = 24min 40sec) they ended with the slowest lap of the day (Lap 6 = 30min 19sec). This allowed both Team 2 and Team 5 to overtake them. Final standings were: Team 4, 2, 5, 3, 6 and 1. Only 6 min 18 sec separated first and sixth place. Team 4’s time of 2hours 33min was the fastest recorded since the 1994 event.

We were members of a 40 strong Australian team which, on a pro rata basis, won the most podium placements. Jan and Bob stayed in Canada a little longer and will present a detailed report in the next Vetrunner. Kamloops’ half marathon course had to be altered because of the sighting of grizzly bears (ha ha) and because of icy snow surface at the turn around point (Brrrr) Roger had the choice of either being eaten or frozen.

The Verti-Cool Telstra Tower Run By Jim White For about 10 minutes I was in a lot of pain with knives sticking in my quads. After the Centrepoint Tower run(1504 steps) and the The results are: Eureka Tower run (1978 steps) the run up the Telstra Scott McTaggart 1st 3.01 Tower only 403 steps should be easy. “Wrong”. Ray Julian Dent 2nd 3.15 Bramwell and me and occasionally my wife Maria would Stuart Doyle 3rd 3.21 train every Wednesday up stairs at the hospital or the John Collignon 4th 3.23 steps in Wanniassa. I found this training harder than the Matthew Haskias 5th 3.24 last two times because I was running up quicker than Vanessa Haverd 6th 3.26 before. Shannon Jones 15th 3.49 The day of the run had arrived. After watching Maria Trevor Jacobs 20th 3.56 and Ray run up it was my start. I had to run up with my Richard White 22nd 4.02 son Richard and Scott McTaggart a past winner of the Geoff Sims 53rd 4.31 Empire State Building Run Up. I tried to stay with them. Jim White 67th 4.43 “Bad Mistake”. The run was not just up the stairs as we Thea Zimple 107th 5.04 had to run about 100 metres uphill up the road and turn Maria White 196th 5.51 around and run about 200 metres downhill down the road Ray Bramwell 208th 5.58 before reaching the stairs. By this time I had tried so hard that my legs went lactic before I even ran up the stairs. I Total Runners 439 managed to run 4 minutes 43 seconds.
