Running success

Alfie came 2nd for his age group in the Queensland Cross-country championships...3000km.
He won the school 800m by at least 100m! Alfie is looking forward to the x-country season in the UK!
Patrick then went on to win an ultra-marathon (50km trail race) the next day in the Glass House Mountains. He is preparing for an epic run through Wales in September: starts in Snowdon and then crosses all the mountains that run through the centre of Wales...a race that has only been run once before (1992) and which is called 'The Dragon's Back'. He will be running for 5 days and covering about 40 miles per day (with excessive amounts of climb). We hoped that our friend Steve Black from Underburg in South Africa would be coming over to do the race but like quite a few other people who thought they would be doing it, he has dropped out...shame!
With this race in mind, Patrick is out as I type, running a four hour training run...inspired by the women's 10000m Olympic final that we watched this morning!
