I tried to get a big enough lead so he couldn`t catch me. I thought I was by myself for the last 400 meters, but I guess I lulled myself to sleep. Craig came on so fast and I had no strength to catch him. ... The finish line looked closer than it was, but with 150 yards to go, I knew I lost it.
Certain things like the shrubbery, large trees, have a value. And if a large tree is knocked down, then if you can find a horticulturist or arborist who will come out and place a value on that tree, you may be able to get a deduction.
I was a wreck, I couldn`t run and this was a pretty easy decision.
I was thinking I would surprise these guys and get a big enough lead that they couldn`t catch me. I didn`t stay as focused the last 400 meters. I was out in front on my own for so long, I sort of lulled myself to sleep.
Nobody thought I was dumb enough to do it twice in a row,
All of them here are sub-four-minute milers and when those guys ran a sub-four-minute mile, a sub-four-minute mile was a big deal.
I thought I could surprise those guys and open up a margin and steal the race,
I thought I was alone,
Rugby is the smallest PCT in the whole of the country... our council should be fighting hard to retain it.
I feel good, ... I don`t think I`m just hanging on.
