Marathon

We checked out the Commonwealth Games marathon on Sunday, joined by Adrian (aka "Adi", aka "88"), Jurate and Graham. Uta was particularly excited about the opportunity to cheer on her fellow GSU alum, Andrew Letherby, who was running for Australia. Letherby won a bronze at the last Commonwealth Games in Manchester and placed 5th at this year's games (seen here crossing the finish line).


I'm always amazed by the fact that people voluntarily participate in a sport that killed the first guy who ever tried it, and where paramedics follow you around as you're running in case you collapse (e.g., the chick below that went down in front of us). That's hard-core.
