    Hey guys, I did the run this morning!!!
    I jogged the whole thing, and I even took the cups of water as I ran :P

    I did it in 0:26:11 (hour, minutes, seconds), but I also got a time of 0:31:14?!?!?!
    The reason behind my 4 minute difference is because there were over 2800 people, and its hard to fit that many people in a gap that is only 5 meters wide!!! There are sensors at the start and finish, these record data from a small timing chip that is on the back of everyone's bib, the +4 minutes is the time it took to get everyone through the starting gate, my dad and I were near the back at the start, I passed around 1000 people throughout the race, my dad finished 10 minutes after me!

    A massive thank you to everyone who donated, I raised $310 and the run was fun!!!

    Well done - 5ks closer.... Maybe when you get to ultra marathon status, you can cross the Nullarbor - so long as you don't get caught up in the Rabbit Proof Fence...

    I think I misunderstood the PEST title.....I thought it stood for "Posting Every Single Topic..."
