Well I had a great birthday weekend. It started out with a trip to Perth on Friday to watch Matthew and his teammates play in the league tag carnival - it was a rainy experience but the kids seemed to love it. Then I caught the train into downtown Perth to get my race kit for the half marathon on Sunday. Sean and Kade joined me and we explored the Perth Winter Supper Club event. This event hosted several international food vendors and we enjoyed Moroccan Shak Shuka, Arepa (from Venezuela), Colombian empanada's and Kade enjoyed a Nutella Crepe.

Sunday was the big race day. The Perth City to Surf Half Marathon. The weather was perfect, the company great but the hills were deadly. There were over 50,000 people participating in various events including a marathon, half marathon, 12 k walk/run and a 4 km walk. 5,000 in the half marathon made for an interesting and tight start to the race.
