Running Archives - Cade Whitbourn

After hearing a positive review from a friend, I recently picked up this little item for $99 from my local Aldi. As far as I’m aware, the watch hasn’t been advertised since July, but there were a few in stock in my local store. Key benefits: Two year warranty Really easy to use Does all […]

Won a 10km race on the weekend

As previously mentioned, I entered the 10km version of the Wagga Wagga Trail Marathon on the weekend. Much to my surprise the field was very small (probably only 30 runners) and not very competitive. Subsequently I finished first, by at least 1 minute I reckon. Not sure of the actual time yet, but apparently I […]
