Across the Finish Line: Sydney Marathon

Posted by Rahul Verma at 2:17 AM


Made it to the finish line. Time close to 5.00 hrs. my slowest ever. The course is brutal, too many hills. The temperature rose to around 80 F, which is never good. The highlight has to be Ajay Vatsayan, my friend who lives in Sydney, showing up with his family to support me on. I have to thank so many friends some of whom I have not even met who rallied to cheer me on. Details of the run to follow.

    Congratulations on another continent conquered. I finished the Fox Cities this morning and have to say I was bit jealous looking at your photos. For some reason, Kaukauna doesn't seem to be nearly as inspiring as Sydney. Hope to share stories with you soon!

    Way to go Rahul! Don't worry too much about the time - I am sure it was a good experience to run in a place like Sydney. I am just hoping I can finish my only one in November. Its great that you are on the way to finishing 7!
