Melbourne Marathon 2009

[trailblazer777]

4.11 for me in the 2009 Melbourne Marathon after a Half split of 1.47...could have/should have been better, reckon I was on track for 3.40's/3.50's but made a bad error in pre-race prep which cost me a PB...122 entrants from Western australia in the various races (marathon, Half, 10km and 5km.) Sarah Jamieson won the 10km.
Jared Tallent racewalked the Marathon in 3.08...
excellent course...if you havent run this one you should some day, its an excellent course...was even a bit of the trails of "The Tan" at about the 35km mark this year...

My 2 year old walked the 5km with my wife onto the MCG too...photos coming soon on my blog...
