Our Motel, it was brilliant

We had to hang outside before check in

It was
freezing for us brown folks

Went sightseeing at
King's Park the next day

Marathon runners have to run up King's Park twice

Trying to impress the missus on race morning (it didn't work).
SKINS baby
(purchased at the EXPO)
ROCK TAPED the feet

Finally met
Mohan the Great. He finished his
102nd Marathon in 5 hours flat and is going to China the following weekend.
(Before the race start, 6.30 a.m.)

The finish was a let down. The few Marathon runners finished with the masses of other runners. No throngs of photographers like we have in KL.
4 hrs 18 minutes baby
Tip went straight to the Medical tent after her 12 km. She only started at 10 a.m., it was so hot.
The medical people, indeed all of Australia were very nice.

Tip wore her thermals (
still groggy after the race)
40,000 participants
Steve, the brilliant chap from ROCK TAPE. They were very nice to us.

My buddy of more than 20 years.
GUY TAYLOR. He did the 12 km

Husband and wife safely completed their respective events

Excellent timing, Sofian! Looking sexy in the black skins, like Catherine Zeta Jones in the movie Entrapment hahhah.
Yeah, after doing City to Surf a few times, the chaos and the crowd has turned me off already. You can try the Perth Marathon next time, organized by WA Marathon Club in late June, early July. More pleasant :)
Well done Sofian! Excellent timing. And you're looking good too!
Gosh I look like Catherine Zeta Jones. I like her too. I can understand why u don't do the race. I never saw the sea. Its a charity event not a Marathon. T shirt sucks. Perth Marathon date seems close to Gold Coast.
The biggest surprise was to hear Li-Ann call my name amongst the thousands.
Thank you Kevin
thanks Ariff
