Club Meeting 3 September 2014

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAGUEST SPEAKER PETER DRUMMOND Peter  is well known locally having been involved in community activities for many years. Peter took up running in February 2010 as the result of a desire to run Nail Can Hill – just once before it was too late. That led to the first marathon on the Gold Coast in July 2012 before turning 65. Have since completed marathons on the Sunshine Coast (Sept 2013) at Relay for Life (Oct 2013) and more recently Boston USA (April 2014) after undertaking a serious training progrmme in preparation including a 10 km walk daily. Peter gave us and interesting overview of the experience of running the Boston Marathon, including the hills, down and up, and the cramps (!).  36.000 people ran in staggered groups … Peter’s time was 4hrs 53mins
