Well the Hobart Marathon:
Well while you were all on your XMAS break some of us were doing stupid things.
Five weeks before the marathon whilst trying to reduce my carbon footprint I fell off my bike and broke my elbow. This basically made it impossible to do the last of my 3 long runs and as such I went in underdone.
Never mind having never been to Tasmania before I enjoyed walking around and taking the docks etc. It was a nice little town.
On the bus to the race I met some of Pats PCRG online runners and so that was nice. The course was an up and down 2 lap course. I enjoyed the first but you can have the second one back and it finished with about a 1 kilometre hill at the end and I mean at the end. It was a smallish marathon by comparison to others but had a chance to run most of the race with one local chap and so had an enjoyable chat along the way.
The race started and finished at the Cadbury Chocolate factory but due to me having to fly straight out after the race I only got to sample some Freddo frogs at the finish.
I completed this race in 4.50. Thanks again for the support and enjoy the photos.
