I did this event last year and I can tell you it was one of the worst runs/races for me ever... personally. Not the course itself but the heat and I was so sure this race would be a piece of cake and it wasn't. It was also wickedly hot! This year we were about 5 degrees cooler which made a huge difference. I also didn't set high expectations but to finish, and not feel like crap while doing it! I also was damned and determined to run the ENTIRE golf course it was hard but I did it!!!!!
Because this year we hoped to set a Guinness Record we had to all pick up our own bibs and sign for them as part of the process to verify this was a legitimate record. As you can see its quite the lineup.
Surprisingly amongst all the people there it didn't take me long to find my Taekwon-Do buddies who were dong the run as well! Last year Jason and I ran (and his brother in law Vince who is not in TKD). Mark our running guru at the Dojang joined us as well this year! Mark is a great motivator and helped me through the final kilometers of my half marathon last year.
This fellow was in full gear competing in the Warrior Class which included running with sword and shield and challenges on the golf course!

Congrats ~ looks like fun had by all!
Hi Dani,
So tell me ... what does one wear under a kilt
when one is participating in a marathon???
Just wondering.
Seriously though, what a ton of fun this
event must have been ... marathon
conditions and distance not withstanding
.... Warrior Class runners eh? Better not
trip over that sword!! Perth is a lovely
town. DH and I have been there twice
for car club gatherings and I've loved it.
Sounds like you made good time too.
Well done. Do you know if they broke
the record??
Your dragon flat fold from Lillie is
wonderful. I love the trim that she
used around the outside of it and
that dragon is something else!
Handsome dude!
Loved seeing those gorgeous quilts
in your previous post and also
enjoyed your post about Lynn's
gathering. Looks like lots of fun
with a great bunch of enthusiastic
stitchers ... and a beautiful, regal
kitty cat named Clarisse.
Have a great week Dani!
p.s. What're you reading???
Oh man, you deserve that beer (and two)! Well done, Dani!
Awesome!!!!
Congrats on finishing this run (and also in a good time).
Must have been fun to see everyone running around in kilts! ;-)
Have a nice week!
Ann
Awesome.
And free beer? Even I might run for free beer. :P
What fun!! Congrats on your great finish time.
Congratulations, Dani. Awesome that you met your goal. You totally deserve that cold one at the end.
Hugs,
Veronica.
Well done Dani. Did they break the record? I didn't even realise there was a record for people running in kilts
WOOHOO! Great job Dani! Wow you did it. Congrats!
Great job with the run! Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Great job Dani! Congrats on doing so well! It can't be easy to run in a kilt!! :)
Looks like fun. If a tad too energetic for me :)
