Yes there were the ACT Championships, yes there was the Canberra Show, but the real highlight of last weekend was the baton relay coming through Canberra. The photo of Margaret in relay garb with her (mirror) twin Gwen shows the delight on their faces. Gwen, who lives in a Brisbane suburb not far from my son Nathan and family, often trained with us in the "old days" but had left Canberra about the time Margaret started with the group. Both are excellent runners, although Gwen did turn to race walking and set a few records there.
One of the very rare occasions I have seen the twins together and dressed differently from each other!
And this is Margaret in her 500 metres of fame.
