All up early to get Mark up to Kuranda for his first marathon. A tough run through dense rainforest and he met the dreaded ‘Wait a While’ bush. GoPro let him down for the first time as it went flat half way through. James got his first buster off his scooter attempting to ride down the hill in the park (caught on film of course by Maddy). Most people in their vans witnessed it so he then had to relive the experience and the injuries as everyone asked how he was doing over the course of the day. He says he’s never riding his scooter again! Girls drove to Barron Gorge Hydro Power station and Crystal Cascades. Such a pretty park. Collected Mark from Cedar Park Resort at 2:15 but he was already in - a 5:30 marathon. James & Emily had a swim at the park pool but they had it to themselves as the weather is overcast & coolish. Emily finished her 3rd book - looks like we have to get to a book store!
Marathon 1 - 42.2 KLM Trail
What a great race! Tough single trails through the rainforest, pristine river crossings and beautiful scenery.
Had a really good race - right knee started to pack it in around the 37klm mark but was able to limp home. I think I'll have a rest tomorrow and run the last marathon on Sunday. (MB)
