Run, Uta, Run


Once again, Uta has opted to use her feet to cover expansive distances that most of us would only consider traversing with a car or maybe even an aircraft of some sort. This time it was the Great Ocean Road half-marathon. What's the best way to follow-up an early morning start featuring cold, rain and darkness? Well, Uta thinks running 23 kilometres is a good way to stay warm, so she headed out from Kennett River at 8:00 am, arriving at the finish at Apollo Bay shortly after 10:00 in the morning. More importantly, she completed her run a good 20 minutes before the first marathon runner crossed the line (but then they did start a little bit further up the road).

We also managed to finally take a look at Erskine Falls, and enjoyed the hospitality of the Around About Lorne B&B - highly recommend for anyone heading down the GOR.
