That was crazy on so many levels. Daz’s birthday, snow EVERYWHERE and marathon 7…
I ran with Daz for the first 12 km. I thought he was fading at 8km, but he came on strong and stuck with me for another 4. Then we parted and I decided to pick up the pace for a while…
Then I thought I should do some training and run to the 30km mark at around 4:30 per km. If I always run slow, I will get slow, so I want to do a few fast kilometers while I run my marathons.
Then I got carried away and decided there was an outside chance I’d break my personal best again.
And I did… 3:17.30. Second PB in as many weeks, if only by 40 seconds. All heart though.. I really had to dig deep for it. I even had to negative split by 7 mins in the back half… Check out the splits – Garmin
Dazz also posted a PB – 1:58.58. It was his first half marathon and his BIRTHDAY! Daz is 28 today and another step closer to being a marathon machine. Please write comments and send him love.
More to come… We’re gonna get drunk for Daz’s birthday tonight and write more tomorrow. Heading to Egypt tomorrow night for more adventure!
Champions….Champions, all of you!
Congratulation for the résult. i think its a challenge to run under snowing! you took a good strategy for this one.

Congratulations to you both…Well done! Hi Daz…A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!….What a way to celebrate…perhaps some Gluwein in the snow…Love hearing about the great adventures you are both having… Enjoy lots of love Pam & Mitch x
Loving the Garmin splits, but what’s going on with your heart rate???
Ave heart rate of 214 and max heart rate of 253 beats per minute! They will have to stuff you and put you in the Melbourne museum when you’re finished 😛
Thanks so much Pam & Mitch I had one of the best birthdays ever!!! Look foward to hearing from you guys again. Be well.
Danke Luis, was a fantastic day!! Keep the comments flowing mate.
Alexander my man!! Thank you so much mate, so nice to hear from you. I hope your keeping up the tennis and that your new coach is as fun as me,ha. We can’t wait for your presence in Moscow, you are awesome!!!
Hi to you family and enjoy the sunshine. Daz
Thanks Abdelilah and there will be many more to come my friend. Take care and lovely to hear from you. Daz
Yeah mate, it’s a little hit and miss. I’m going to write a post about how crap my Garmin is. It’s a little temperamental and if it has too much salt on it from previous runs (sweat) then it gives ridiculous heart rate readings. I wash it before each run, but only know if it will work after I start running.
Few other issues, but what am I gonna do… Love your work Big Sean! My Vibrams are in London waiting for me. Look forward to trying them out.
Cheers mate. All the best to the lovely Hangatu. Tris
Congrats Daz and you gave yourself a great birthday gift. Happy belated b’day!
Daz, you’re just stepping up and up. Great stuff!
Dazzler … babe … HAPPY BIRTHDAY …. !!!!
Awesome to see you in fine form …. and pretty darn impressive on your BD … i bet you guys had a fun, fun night after that run … sounds like you both deserve it… !
HIGH FIVE DUDES …. YOU GUYS ROCK .. !
big love from me (it’s snowing in Hastings today too 🙂 I have been lookin on web for hot sunshine to fly to …. enjoy egypt .. dahab was great last time i needed sunshine …. !
T-Bone!! Well done mate. Very impressive and a nice birthday present for Daz breaking 2 hours on debut!
But be careful. Bag your Garmin at your peril. Yabbie sleeps with his and most Tribal members take to theirs like you take to tequila. Will be a good one to stir up some passionate responses!
Keep on cruising…
