Usually when he&#8217;s injured, sick or simply not running. But I&#8217;ll readily admit that he always manages to beat me with racecraft, cunning or actual talent. Still, I was feeling cocky when he flew past me on a minor rise about 2km into this race. In my defence, I had no idea how astonishingly fast this race is. I usually take a few km to get into the rhythm, but after a 4:38 first km I tried to slow down. Bad move. After passing about 100 people just after the start line, they all started to reel me back in. I had a stack at about 8-9km, not painful but an impressive amount of blood. Then after the 12km mark it&#8217;s all downhill. Wow, I couldn&#8217;t believe how fast we were running- pulling off a 4:27 at 18km was simply mind boggling for me. Passed a lot of people in the last few k&#8217;s but it got very painful, I was desperate to see the clearing and some signs to indicate the finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I came through the gates in 2:14 to find that Adam D had finished in 2:02. Tony Sharpe, Walter Edgar and a number of NRG&#8217;ers finished around the same time as me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See you next year for a rematch Adam D, and I&#8217;ll need the number for your speed dealer, er coach. The photo is about 150m from the finish line. Look happy, don&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/run.dj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/1276-Trail-Running-Photography-Woodford-To-Glenbrook-2012.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-652\" title=\"1276-Trail-Running-Photography-Woodford-To-Glenbrook-2012\" src=\"http:\/\/run.dj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/1276-Trail-Running-Photography-Woodford-To-Glenbrook-2012.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/run.dj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/1276-Trail-Running-Photography-Woodford-To-Glenbrook-2012.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/run.dj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/1276-Trail-Running-Photography-Woodford-To-Glenbrook-2012-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>runners<\/p>\n<p>Nicola Darwin 2:37<\/p>\n<p>Adam Darwin 2:02<\/p>\n<p>Adam Connor 2:14<\/p>\n<p>Geoff Evison\u00a0\u00a01:55<\/p>\n<p>Richard Bettles 1:46<\/p>\n<p>Alison Carlin 2:26<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Connor 2:26<\/p>\n<p>Leigh Reynolds 2:30<\/p>\n<p>Teresa Liu 2:38<\/p>\n<p>Rose Pengilly 3:04<\/p>\n<p>Walter Edgar 2:23<\/p>\n<p>Tony Sharpe 2:26<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also some of you might know Anne Powell, who crossed the line in 2:19 to win her age category!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>results<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.multisportaustralia.com.au\/RaceTecResults\/Search.aspx?CId=1&amp;RId=719&amp;EId=2\">http:\/\/www.multisportaustralia.com.au\/RaceTecResults\/Search.aspx?CId=1&amp;RId=719&amp;EId=2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are moments when I kid myself that I can run like Adam Darwin.
