Gold Coast Airport Marathon Down Under

Mike sent an email to let everyone know he made it down under safely. The message arrived about 2:30 AM PDT but it was already 7:30 Friday night where he was writing it from. Evidently there are five time zones on the Aussie continent. Pretty cool, huh? See, if you ever have to 'redo' a particular hour they give you an additional four chances to get it right. That's one more than the three we get here the US. Hm, I wonder how their healthcare system is set up. There's Starbucks! But I quickly digress...
Mike is in the M25-29 category running as number M2493. There's another Hess running, Ian, but he's an old guy (M45-49). The race starts at 6:50 AM Sunday July 6th (Aussie time)...that's only 2:50 Saturday afternoon (July 5) for you and me.
Give it about six hours or so and then click here to check on how he did. The link should update for 2008 results.
