  1. How did Mary and you manage to get sequential numbers?
    Well done all speedygeese, inspirational :-)

  2. We're that close.

    Or, possibly, we entered under the same team name. Possibly.

  3. Go Mary! Next time ditch the long pants and you'll run 10 minutes faster.

    I saw Adam running Sunday - not sure if he was in the half or the full or just running. Great run from Colleen! Must be due to the quiet race accommodation she chose.

  4. I saw Adam running Sunday too.
    I also saw Warrick running.
    Haven't got to the online results yet.

  6. Congratulations on the age group win Speedygeoff! And all the SG! How was the new race after all the trouble? Did they do a good job hosting it?

  7. From a Sunday runner's point of view, everything was OK. The helpers all worked pretty hard in miserable conditions, let's hope the YCRC and our members get well rewarded for effort, unlike under the old regime.
