Kennelly & Crouch in New York Marathon

There were 3 different starting points & positions were ranked according to previous marathon times - so if you didn't race at all then you started near the back - I past the start line 40mins after the official gun. I past Jared at the 18 mile mark - he was having a good time soaking it all in - he was walking & running the course with a few friends - he obviously could have gone substantially quicker but obviously listened to Swans coaching instructions not to go fast ... he is looking quite fit ... but I am glad that he didn't as I can now say that I beat him in a marathon (4 hrs 57 for me) - something he will probably rue in years to come as I remind him of the fact
Bit sore today - but the pain is worth it after we have now raised over $204k for the National Heart Foundation. We are now off to a Melb Cup - any tips so that we can fleece the yanks??See me run a marathon again as a leprechaun?

Sad to see in the news that an American, Ryan Shay 26 yrs old, who was aiming to be a member of the US Olympic marathon team died just 5 miles into the race. I haven't heard anywhere how Jared Crouch went, but I'm sure he and his team would be pretty upset that someone has died, possibly from some sort of heart condition, given that they were running to raise money and awareness of heart disease. I haven't heard anything yet, but I will be really glad to hear that Jared and his team successfully completed the race.See me run a marathon again as a leprechaun?

Congrats Rafters. A job well done.
I've been told to get on the master (what or who the master is ... I have no idea).Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment
