I had led the field out and was first to the tunnel, affording me the full light show of the little larvae. This type of terrain was to my liking, but a little bit past the end of the tunnel, Tony ‘Fats’ Fattorini caught me and we ran the rest of the sneaky ascent together before I let loose on the long downhill to join the course proper on the return to the start/finish point to finish the first 21.1km. Mick Donges was never too far off the pace either, obviously running a smart race in the early stages. I reached Brendan leads the pack in the Glow Worm Trail Marathon the half way about one minute ahead of Mick in second spot, but knew the real running was yet to come.

Oh yes – Qantas provided me with a half price ticket to Europe once which was gratefully appreciated. Currently Living: Yes! and in Canberra. Martial Status: Married to Josephine Occupation: Civil Engineer working in the water resource/environmental management field with the Murray- Darling Basin Commission. Height: 178cm Weight: 65kg Shoe Size: 10 Hair colour: Browny-greyish mix Favourite shoe colour: Anything really, except pink. They end up dirty looking pretty quickly anyway. Most loved pair of runners you have ever had: My first pair of runners (Asics Tiger) in 1981 as they felt really comfortable compared with the Dunlop Volleys I’d been using before that. Today, it’s Brooks Racer that I like best because they are comfortable, very durable and light so they are great for training as well as racing. Favourite race: I have so many favourite races that I generally follow a yearly cycle. Currently they include the 6 Foot Track, Canberra Marathon/50km, City to Surf, Oxfam Trailwalker, Brindabella Classic and various mountain races, together with a few rogaines and orienteering events. I like them all really! Today though, my favourite of the favourites would have to be the 6 Foot Track because it seems to suit me really well as I can finish close to the leaders more so than in any other race, giving a nice feeling. Super Sport Images Your top 3 running record with the numerically prefect time of Crackenback Challenges and on and on it experiences/performances: 3.33.33 in 1992.

  • Australian Outback Marathon 26 July 2014 Race Report
    Australian Outback Marathon 26 July 2014 Race Report http://australianoutbackmarathon.com/ Ross Prickett (Rosco) Background I returned to running at the start of 2011 after a long layoff (from late 80s/early 90s) when I was in the RAAF and before that as a teenager. I started by running up to 3 times per week during my lunch hours (just to keep fit) but it snowballed from there with my brother talking me into running the Canberra Marathon in 2012. So from late 2011, I began training seriously for Canberra (which I thought would be my one and only marathon). My goal for this race was <4 hours, but I surprised myself with 3:36. After the dust settled, my brother and I decided to take on the Melbourne Marathon later in the year following our trip to Peru, however fate had other plans. Unfortunately, I got a bad case of food poisoning whilst in Peru which led to a disease known as Reactive Arthritis and I returned to Australia in July 2012 crippled and unable to walk. This disease is a very painful auto immune condition and causes severe joint inflammation. For me, affected joints were in the left ankle/foot, right elbow/wrist/little finger and sacroiliac. I was off work for 2 months and on crutches until after the Melbourne Marathon. At this stage, I didn't know whether I would be capable of running again and was taking steroid medication, immune suppressants and powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. This was a frustrating time because I have always been an active person and played a lot of sport over the years (football, cricket, squash, and tennis) and now couldn't move without pain.

  • A Capital Marathon Canberra Marathon, Australia
    A capital marathon Canberra Marathon, Australia. 9 April 2006 By Alison Kay Canberra is Australia’s capital city and home to its Parliament. Lying between Sydney and Melbourne, it was chosen as the site of the federal capital in 1908 and planned in 1912 by master designer Walter Burley Griffin. Now in its 30th year, the Canberra Marathon has been equally carefully planned and well-organised. Griffin was a Chicago architect who won an international design competition with his plan which combined nature and urban living. Even today, 53% of the Australian Capital Territory in which Canberra was situated remains as nature reserve. It makes the Canberra Marathon one of the most scenic races in Australia. Traffic-free roads are bounded by parkland and offer panoramic views of Lake Burley Griffin and many of Australia’s national The marathon starts and finishes House, acclaimed for its celebrate the 50th anniversary of buildings. at Telopea Park.

He can tell you all about the competition that he faced, and how he managed this great achievement. We wish Susan Murray the very best, as she heads off to Vancouver (Canada) in early June for the excitement of the Triathlon World Championships. This is bound to be a great experience for her and family, and also as they holiday around western Canada. See www.triathlonvancouver.com for further details of the event. Next Tuesday night sees our 2008 AGM - please consider who might be appropriate to hold any of the official club positions, and also make sure you attend to provide your input on the running of our club. We are providing pizza and drinks for all those who attend the meeting. Please also make sure that if you haven't yet renewed your membership, you are a paid up member by the time of the meeting. Our next Handicap event is on 24/5/08, full details are inside. Athletics NSW recently changed their guidelines for affiliated clubs, such that we could only remain as a fully affiliated club if we had 30 registered members. In the time since we became affiliated (2002), we have only had up to about 5 to 10 registered athletes, so the Committee decided that we were best to take up the option of being an "other Affiliated Club".
