Canberra marathon plan

Posted by speedygeoff on Saturday, April 05, 2014 with
Plans for Sunday 13 April: The Canberra Marathon and Ultra Marathon start together at 6:30am and diverge after 40k. I plan to hover around the Banks Street/Weston Park area, seeing the runners in both events at 34/37k. I will park on Novar Street, near the northern end, which will only be closed at the very top. Getting there around 7:00am, I will do a short warmup then run a 10k tempo run around Weston Park. I imagine the first runners won't be arriving until 8:15am or so, and the 10k will be finished by then. Then to cheer on the runners. Those I have located in the entry "list" are:
00019 Kelley-ann
00414 Bronwyn
00519 Katherine
00847 Lucia
00905 Catherine Brims
00925 John Diamond

People are still entering so there may be more speedygeese and friends to come.

Meanwhile Kathy Sims has taken out the 3000m "Moore Series" with the highest age adjusted average, close to 90%, running the final event to just qualify with the minimum of 5 events.  Here is Kathy at the Nationals.
