HI wineturtle,
The Johnny Kelly race was fabulous. What a wonderful family week-end. Golfing, harbor cruise, live music, (blues)fireworks. Race day..splendid weather, couldn't have asked for better. The 5km-10km courses were longer, though I don't know the exact distance, BR and I estimated the 5km was about 3.3-5. not 3.1 and the 10km to be about 6.4. They were measured that morning by a car. So, there you go..not short. All times were slow...nobody cared though, the race festivites and atmosphere were THAT good! After the awards, food, live music, beer and other beverages and pool party.
Paul Collier, the race director, did a fantastic job of putting together a delightful week end for everybody. A definite 'must do' for next year. I look forward to the Marathon he puts on in February another fine event. Way to go, Paulie! Thank you!
