I thought Ourimbah was favourite with a 3.18 estimated finish  here ! Hard to knock that one off.

It'll be the only time I'll ever beat Uncle Dave and I intend to enjoy it to the utmost.

Twenty years from now- "hey Dave, you remember that time I beat you by three and a half hours?"  :D

Mister G, if you can beat Uncle Dave by 3.5 hours then you will be the new favourite.   ;)

Onrei,

Not if he's out there for eight hours like last year's sweepers.  ;)

Not knowing you NSW guys i'm wondering if D.Benson is the guy i passed at 22k covered in blood last year? this guy looked like he had made a real mess.

Lebusqp,

No, I don't think so. Martin Fryer passed Darren at Binda Cabins, and Martin went on to run a 4.14, but Darren finished in 4.58, so he lost three quarters of an hour in the last 5km. He must have blown up very badly.

Having said that, he has great credentials and he'll have hopefully learned some lessons for this year.
