I’m known for getting my monies worth from an event and seem to be on the course for an awfully long time. At Port Mac 70.3 I finished in 8:31:47, but with a DNF because I missed the cut off due to a puncture and a long tale of woe. This time my plan was…
I had a 20 hour stopover in Beijing, China on my way back to Australia, and instead of staying in the airport I decided to go outside and explore a bit, check the sights and hopefully find something interesting to do to make worthy the nearly 5 hours that I waited in lines and filling…
