The weather was gale force 8 at 06.00 hours on race day and I have it on good authority that the 2,000 runner race was almost called off, but the weather calmed sufficiently to make the race organizers happy it could go a head, gale force 8 was officially downgraded to just atrocious weather.

They were moving so fast at this point that even a professional camera lens could not deliver a shutter speed that stopped the action. Look at the MoFo's go...

Marathon B was seen runing in disguise and almost got away with it.....
Much later in the race the MoFo's showing true grit
Even in the heat of the race Marathon T ensures his best side is offered to the cameras for the promotional endorsements sure to follow..... Guru T allowing him this bit of limelight muttering to himself "That's my boy...."
