Got news today that the JPMorgan race is definitely on this year after some rumours to the contrary. 11th November is the date to aim for. I'd like to be vaguely fit for this as it's the one event I've raced every year. Thinking of that, I tracked down my times from each year and it shows a pretty steady progression. Big jumps in 2003/4 when I started training more regularly (albeit my "long run" was still only about 14km - just over an hour and every other run was about 35 mins) and then again in 2006 when Timmy C, Ray, Chris G and I established the HuRT Squad with Hickson Road reps, specifically with JPMorgan in mind.
2000: 19:55
2001: 19:57
2002: 19:45
2003: 19:07
2004: 18:47
2005: 18:55
2006: Cancelled (but 18:03 in New York)
2007: 17:54
2008: 17:23 (and 17:53 in New York)
Headed out at lunchtime with Ray on the bikes to Centennial where we did 4 laps then rode back. One quick lap which I did in 6:35 and Ray in 6:57.

Baring Injury my only goal this year is to beat you in JPM !!
Did your source also give you any details on whether the championship will be held again in 2010 after the cancellation for "retooling" (i.e. GFC) this last year? Talk about picking an unlucky year to win!
I wouldnt believe anything they say about the champioship at the moment.
2008 Was the best year to go from an Aussie perspective and will never be matched.
