Official Results

Official Results: I just ran out to get the morning paper and check the results. I finished in 156:59, which is just shy of two hours and 37 minutes. (As Allan mentioned in the comments below, that means I averaged a twelve minute per mile pace for the whole thing.) I placed 5979th out of 6032 finishers… which means I was in the bottom 1%. But you know what? This race was marketed as Australia’s “most prestigious restricted entry running event,” and I was in the company of serious runners. I’m just happy to have been out there with them.

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
