Christine, Duncan and myself, have been very competitive this year. What I find so enjoyable about our ongoing running rivalry , is how close in capability all three of us are. On any given day one of us can beat the other two and this has made for some memorable races.
So lets have a look back at some of 2012 highlights..

Rutgers 13.1 Half Marathon
Eeking out a victory after 13.1 miles
A week after the Cherry Blossom 10k , all three of us headed down to New Brunswick for a 13.1 Half marathon. It was as fantastic race (for me), I wasn’t feeling too good at the start , but when the gun sounded I picked up the pace and managed to stay clear or Duncan and Christine for most of the race. The excitement came with about a quarter mile to the finish Duncan pulled up next to me, I was in complete pain and mustered all my energy to literally beat him at the line.
