CBT 82 Report post Posted April 18, 2019 54 minutes ago, rdytdy said: Comfortable win in the 5k Chris. Well done. Cheers Ted. It’s been amazing running with Craig Mottram, a true legend of the sport over here. Not sure if you’ve ever run around the iconic TAN track in Melbourne but he holds the track record of 10:08 beating other Australian legends like Steve Monaghetti & Robert de Castella. My quickest is 14:04. The Australian comedian Dave Hughes has run a 13:59! I also run with a work colleague Megan who used to go out with John Landy’s Son.

Charlie Bukowski 411 Report post Posted April 18, 2019 5 hours ago, CBT said: So what exactly were you expecting Charlie? A young successful happily married Kiwi who moved to Melbourne 10 years ago, bought land and built a beautiful house, bought a brand new car last year, just celebrated his 4th wedding anniversary to his beautiful, intelligent, successful wife, just celebrated his 7th work anniversary working for the best company he’s ever worked for, travelled extensively both domestically and internationally to many countries including the US, China, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, NZ, Perth, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Cairns and regularly attends race meetings of thoroughbred racing in the most livable city in world. Life is good Charlie, and it’s only getting better. Here’s a pic from my latest run 2 weeks ago in the Run4Kids where I started with the next PM of Australia Bill Shorten and also a couple of results when I was fully fit beating the train at my first attempt in Puffing Billy and winning the Melbourne Corporate Games over 5km (still not as fast as Ted in his prime though ). However I have been lucky to train with triple Olympian Craig Mottram recently which has been amazing!! Skites never prosper.

Even an old slug like me can run far quicker than that worm......5 minute k’s FFS......he’s a slug. That’s a 1.45 half marathon ( I’m 1.18 ) and a 3.30 full ( I’m 3.12 ). I’m picking Ted would be 1.10 and 2.30......and that’s a proper runner The more the posts the more he demonstrates what a delusional & tragic person he is .....please don’t discourage him . Best for half-marathon was 1:06:52. Still hold the NZ half-marathon record for masters 40+ Half Marathon M40 T McLachlan 1:08:22 1996 Actually ran another in 1:08:17 at age 43 but they obviously missed it even though it was a NZ Championship race. Only ran three marathons, all sub 2:30. I wonder if I lost 10kg and trained up what I could run now. Probably across the road and collapse.

I’ve only ever ran 2 half marathons (I could never run beyond 10km in training because of my left knee). My best time was just over 1:28 in the Melbourne half marathon. Would love to try and crack 3 for the full in October but not sure if my knee will hold up unfortunately. Sub 2:30 is fair flying!!!

From memory my best was a 12.flat and a 12.6. When I couldn't keep up on the flat. I made it to the Waikato Champs for 100m Hurdles. I ran 3rd in my heat... falling after the last on the flat (what a farkwit) ran 17.something... which wasn't fast enough to qualify me for the final. My training regime was no exercise, much beer & many cigarettes! Haven't changed a thing and this has made me the champion I am today.....just like CBT Chestnut, Al Feilding, rdytdy and 1 other 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like to know about my wife flock? I met her in an Asian takeaway restaurant around the corner from where I used to work at AAPT (an Australian telco that was purchased by Telecom NZ) where she was working for $5 an hour. She has since completed her Masters in Accounting at Melbourne University and her CPA and is now a Finance Business Partner for Brand Collective. I proposed to her on a Chinese Junk called the Aqua Luna in Hong Kong as recommended by the man in Chapel St who used to make my coffee, and can you believe it.........she said yes!!
