"It is not gymnastics or ice skating you know." - Emil Zatopek, when asked about his tortured expression during races.

Our runners at Mount Ainslie 9.3k. Often a backmarker's course, but not so this year. Martin Butterfield with a beard advantage in the cold weather won the handicap by a mere eight minutes, from Robert Ey having a very good run.
