Gerry Arthur

Today was the usual Monday route with a big crowd. Mike held fort telling all and sundry that North Head was long and he seems to have persuaded Steve Jackson to remeasure it. Kanser seemed to be working up a sweat just to run 4:30's and, following his poor performance in the Coastal Classic, I have concerns for his form.


Gerry was a keen HuRT Squad participant in the early days and even penned an article for that esteemed running publication "The Blister" on how the HuRT Squad was instrumental in delivering his first ever sub35 10km race after many years trying. MC might want to ask him for a back copy. He promised a very good marathon 2 or 3 years back (long time PB of 2:48) but got sick and never delivered. Since then he's shied away from racing and showing us the form he's plainly capable of, but currently on the come-back trail and racing Melbourne full. Also very handy with the camera. Charlie D might want to speak to him about that. All round good bloke.

He was being toughened up by Fats on the trails at the STaR on sunday's Harbourside Hike.

The sad truth is Tom, that you are not as good looking as you think you are.

David - you can read me like a book!
Charlie - I just don't believe you.

Mikes got a bit riding on the remeasure - the full story is that if a formal remeasure says I am wrong, I pay for the remeasure. If I am right, Mike pays for the remeasure. Going rate (AIMS/IAAF) is A$1000 plus expenses :)
