Sydney running festival
Very hot condition meant most runners slowed down drastically in the second half and made full use of the water stations. Our Warrick was no exception: his first half was run in 1:45, and his second half in 2:09. His preparation and his physical condition were not the issue; it was simply far too hot for running a marathon, and Warrick was far too sensible to rush past drink stations. I would have been looking for a lake to jump into!.

Michelle's performance to run a new PB under those conditions is extraordinary. She was 33rd female and 10th W35. Liz was 4th W45. Others in the half marathon I know of include Tesso 1:34.56 and Jeff Grey 1:26.36
