just a thought ---i hear the fittest athlete on the planet is compeeting in this years race     wow what a coup but it has barely made the news or this website for that matter. how about asking him to write a blog on the race and give his perspective about how it compares to all the other races he does in a year?. would it be possible to get him to say a few words to the starters before the race???---- photos with runners? what do you think??

go the madness!!!!!

I have a copy of the 27th most influencial person in the worlds book and would like to get it signed. Good call Gerry...

Hi guys,

Good call!  DK will be around during most if not all of registration on the Friday.  He will be signing stuff and there for a chat.  Great idea to see if he can say a few words at the start.  We'll get him up to the HQ room at The Fairmont when he finishes to type in his thoughts on the race on the live website.  Also he will be at the presentations on the Sunday.

Cheers,
Tom

Hey thats great Tom ... but I'll be chatting with him quite a bit throughout the race anyway

[Andrew]

I plan on giving him a few tips over my shoulder throughout the race. Has he been told to bring his drop-bear helmet?

Perhaps the briefing should have been expanded to included instructions on what to do if international competitors meet some of Australia's more dangerous creatures such as the drop bear and bunyip. Almost the whole field at one stage will be travelling alone at night in the bush.

What are drop bear and bunyip? Dont have those in NZ...
