Question: Great win this year in the Gold Coast Half marathon; were you expecting such a good race?
I was expecting it to be a competitive race at the front end, as there wasn’t a clear favorite. My goal was to finish as high up as possible, which for me...
Last time I blogged I had just finished my season and was enjoying some down time which consisted of a fair bit of binge eating, sleeping and surfing.
