I had an amazing trip through the Middle East. Incredibly generous and warm reception where ever I went. Amazing to meet those calling Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus home, and to visit the schools within the camp. The racing in Dubai was incredibly well supported but not exactly the results that I was after. Best result was a 2nd in the 1500m. Cant win them all though.:)

Had a great time with students from Ungary, Condobolin, Quandialla and Lake Cargelligo at the Borambola sport and recreation camp. I got out there the week immediately following my return. Also got to help out a Junior wheelchair racing camp for a couple of days in between. The talent at the camp is better then we have had for at least a decade and the boys are definitely smashing my form at their age.

Now I’m in the final preparations for the marathon season. Starts at Paris Marathon on the 5th April, then London Marathon on the 26th and finishing at Seoul Marathon on the 10th. Bring on the 42km’s!!
