As has become almost customary for me in recent times I fell sick again in the week leading into this race. A niggle sore throat all week feel deeply into a chesty cough and loss of voice (almost) the day before the race. So once again I was faced with the dilemma of what to do on race day when you are less than 100% well.
And since I was doing this race only because it is a fund raiser for our local Children's Hospital I decided to just go out and have a very easy jog around the 14.4km course and ... shoot a video.
Mr Spielberg I am not but here is the story of my race ... [warning: it goes for 10 minutes]
Enjoy!
Athletic endeavours of an ordinary kind.

wow I feel as though I was there! Although it went much faster than I would have managed :) thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThat was great Paul! The bit through the tunnel near the start had me pining for the City to Surf. Looks even more crowded at the start! Very scenic course, and as usual, Melbourne put on a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog about the pallet. Made me laugh out loud. I talked about it on my post today, so check it out.
