Also some amazing pictures from Christina Bartels..
After a 78second 400m, I did a recovery jog to go through 1km in 4.29, hit 10km in about 50min, 19km in 1.39 (5.15 per km), and the half marathon in 1hr 53min (2nd fastest this year). Then succumbed to the concrete footpaths, the 83kg I was dragging around the course, and my last 6km was a bit forgettable, finishing in my 7th best Perth Marathon time of 4.19. I am getting back into form and have lost 2kg this week, but need to lose another 6kg-10kg to be PB ready for Melbourne later this year. Wore my slow shoes in this one to protect my knee and back/groin from the concrete paths. The bitumen is ok, but the concrete is not.
Magnificent Swan River and City views throughout on a scintillating morning. Roberto Busi (race number 228 in this photo above) won in 2.24 (5min outside course record, and fastest winning time since 1991 (23 years ago) from Chris O'Neill 2.33(obscured on Robertos left shoulder in this photo and pacing Adam), Adam Martin 2.34(gold top to right of Roberto). Kevin Matthews (2.41 PB, white singlet) and Gerry Hill who were in the top 6 are also in this photo. I think Nera Jareb (2nd woman (2.53) in a close finish with Tina Major (2.52)) is in this photo with an red runbirds top behind Gerry and Kevin. Craig Berg who did 2.52, and Rhys James who did 2.47 is also in this photo. Possibly a record number of entrants and an amazing day put on by the WA Marathon Club in the 35th Perth Marathon.

After the race I was presented with a plaque in recognition of my completing 10 Perth Marathons 2004-2013, which means I have now secured a spot on the Spartan list, and if I do this race again I will have a special Spartan number. Special day. Below is a photo of me getting a Spartan award for doing 10 Perth Marathons at the WA Marathon club with Gary from the club.
My first 18 marathons before today are listed at http://trailblazer777.net/maratop10live.html My first 9 Perth Marathons are detailed @ http://trailblazer777.net/perthmara2004onwards.html
Massive thanks to the Creator Triune for the opportunity to run another one of these, its been hard to get into reasonable condition for this one but got there in the end. Had good long runs, including a 32km with Janes C-team at Darlington, and the 27km at BT Runclub that were two of my better ones, and getting my first Garmin in the last few weeks, has given me extra motivation to get obsessed with segments and online challenges, interacting with other runners on http://www.strava.com/
Had a good run with the Phatties at Bold Park one night in the lead up also.
More race stats, details and photos to come when I get some time to organise it all...
Heaps of photos @ http://www.dashphotography.com.au/ in the next few days....

The 21km split of 1hr 52min 24 is 5.21 per K pace, but this slowed from 5.15 per K pace at 19km due to me walking up the new hill on the course and being a bit disappointed mentally that we were supposed to run up this hill on a concrete path rather than the bitumen road, which increased my knee pain and inflamed other injuries I have.

Congrats on the ten and Spartan status Jonathon - well earned! Yes, that's a brilliant photo - you've gapped them already. Must have made the TV sports news too I presume. Worth taking it out in 78s for such a photo.
Yes, drop the weight down to 70kg or so and you'll fly in Melbourne. Try Grellan's diet http://solorun.blogspot.com.au/ he's dropped 7kg and run a 2:54 marathon PB - not eating until 5 in the evening, then eat normal. A different version of the 5/2 fasting diet.
