"the race is not always to the swift"


Hi Hugh,
Just waking up in NYC after the marathon every body a bit sore.

All completed with no major casualties

Colin Tennant, Fraser lundie Jamie Doig, the late jamie black and myself ran the NYC marathon in 2002 So we were running as a tribute to Jamie. With the addition of Stuart Low and Scott Chassels. Jamie doig (captain of Accies) tore his ACL first game of the season so could not run.

Colin Tennant now lives in Seattle and has joined a running club so he was the big surprise going from 4:42in 2002 to 3:32.

Stuart was 9 minutes ahead of Colin at one point but was passed at mile 22 where he was suffering the effects of his early fast pace.
Scott, Fraser and me probably could have trained a bit more but all ground out sub 5 hours.
In 2002 Fraser and myself both ran slower 4:58 and 4:59 versus 4:50 and. 4:51 this time.


Colin Tennant 3:32
Stuart low 3:36
Scott Chassels 4:47
Andy McGeoch 4:50
Fraser lundie 4:51

Thanks Andy
