  • Comments: I had a wonderful experience not just at this race, but after as well. The area is lovely, making this a top "destination race". The negatives? - bad swim start for the women - athletes meeting way too late on the night before the race - especially anyone coming from o/s or interstate who has jetlag to contend with. Actually, my hire car company informed me (not til I picked up the car) that I was not permitted to drive after dusk or before dawn because of the Kangaroo Menace on the roads) Had I heeded this* I would have missed the race meeting. *shh dont tell please - I wasnt too impressed with the race website. Certain information I wanted just wasnt posted until a few weeks before hand. I wouldnt want anything I've said to put anyone off doing this race. I'd be very happy to come back !!

  • Comments: Would just like to say, the volunteers, and spectators at this race are absolutely awesome!!!! A huge thankyou to everyone of them out there cheering all racers on, no matter who they were or how fast they were. The goals I had before the day, in ascending order, were: To finish To not be last To not be last in age group To beat 6:30:00 To beat 6:15:00 To beat 6:00:00 There is no way I thought I was going to break 6 hours, that was my ridiculous goal, so you can imagine how pleased and chuffed I am now with myself for doing 6:02:18 with such a lack of run training! This is the first time in a long time I feel I have really achieved something for me, and means such a lot to share it with you - thankyou for reading! Photo's to follow hopefully...
