I
was a relatively late bloomer. I made the school cross country
team as a junior and basically left it at that until I was
inspired and returned to the sport with a vengeance when I was
twenty years old.
Twenty odd years later I am still running
(retired from major competition 2001) and channel my energy into
helping runners achieve their own goals via
online coaching and
PCRG.
Some of my more memorable achievements are as follows.
-
1st
place - 1995 Beppu Marathon
2hrs 9min 39sec(2:09:39)
-

time winner of the Gold Coast Marathon 83/84/88/97, where there
was 14 years separating my first and fourth win
-
