The Barossa Half

Today I was able to tick off another *huge* life goal - completing the Barossa Half Marathon in Tanunda, SA - I wish I knew ahead of time about that hill that I had to run up 3 times! Ouch - they didn't provide an elevation guide online. Despite that it was a perfect day out - cloudy, overcast, not too hot, with friendly country folk running the event. And what was a wonderful surprise was being able to complete the event in 1:59:50 - just shy of the magical 2 hour mark.

The scary thing is the next tick. I'm not sure my knees and ankles will allow what my mind wants to do :)

Update:Thanks Stoyan for the photo :-)
