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. B)

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 B)). However I have been lucky to train with triple Olympian Craig Mottram recently which has been amazing!! B)

You’re a bit slow on the uptake. This has already been discussed in great detail on this thread. Rather than following the “flockofewes” I’d suggest you go back through the thread and have a look from the start yourself. :)

couldn't wade through that rubbish...read the first few comments and posted.Great to hear you have already been pulled up for fairy tales.

I’m proud of who I am and what I have achieved as are many others. 

You made a jibe at my character with your posting and I gave you a response.

Maybe don’t judge people as you judged me.

Wise words, take the advice.

“Flockofewes”.....need I say more. Couldn’t you think of a fairy tale pseudonym better than that? (although it does suit you quite well being a follower and all). :P

He’s not skiting.....he’s self flagellating but he’s too stupid to see it.

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. :rcf-laughing-2:

Nice one Ted! 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!!! My friend Anderson ran 2:37:18 for the Melbourne mara last year B)

I could, I know Chris :)   He loves life  :) and why shouldn't he.   If it wasn't for his resilience and to keep coming back no matter what you throw at him this thread would be nothing :)   Cheers to him.

 

 

 

Don’t worry Maria, I’ve got them all covered. The truth has a funny way of cutting through all the bullshit which I love. :)

Still waiting on Barry to tell us all what he actually does for Graham Hart & also Richmond Tige to tell us all how he knows “Dunc Hawkesby.”

You gonna tell us all Bazza? Are you the pool boy? :P

Fark that Ted!  :rcf-sick-2: I've had enough after 100m! :rcf-laughing-2: 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) :rcf-monkey: 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 :rcf-laughing-2:

Hahaha. Reminds me of that saying  " the older you get,  the better you USED to be. "

Yep...I turned up raceday in beer bare feet and was shocked to see all these pros with flash racing shoes that had funny little spikes poking out of the bottoms.

I couldn't afford a good blacksmith....I was running on pure talent...I tell ya! :rcf-laughing-2:

True Story...almost!

They still have spikes, whatever you do don't tell OSH , that sounds potentially dangerous in the extreme , someone could be seriously injured or even killed .

Do you sometimes think CBT May just be winding you up. It looks like it to me

there used to be a bloke on here called Pogo. An Ozi. Always taking the piss out of Kiwis. It was all a gee up . He loves us. Every time I saw someone rising to the bait I used to think “ don’t do it. That’s what he wants

On the contrary flock I had an amazing time growing up at Auckland Grammar then Waikato Uni where I completed my BMS degree. 

My two older cousins were also at Grammar at the time,  who was captain of the senior water polo team and his brother Mark.

Steve has managed several bars in Auckland including Neil Finn’s bar Tabac that he was in charge of for several years. He then managed Auckland’s premier boutique hotel Mollies before going out on his own running a very successful cafe in Ponsonby/Herne Bay.

Mark is a very successful barrister in Auckland specialising in arbitration. 

Two of my closest friends I met at Grammar who were best men at my wedding also have lived here in Melbourne for well over 10 years so no, can’t say I ever had sand kicked in my face.....growing up. :)

Life is good. B)

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!! :)
