NSW junior Toby Wilson spent hours planning courses for last weekend's Garingal event at Gladesville, only to be struck down by appendicitis on the eve of the event.
Poor old brother Huon and Mum Airdrie spent Saturday night at RNS, then Sunday morning putting the controls out in the rain, but at least the heavens cleared for the runners.
The feedback was that Toby set great courses which started with a number of long legs to provide subtle route choices. The courses then plunged into the intricate layout of Gladesville Hospital, which required careful navigation, before finishing in picturesque style with a sprint along the harbour edge past Bedlam Bay and into Banjo Paterson Park.
It's always great to see our juniors helping out and we all wish Toby a speedy recovery.
Tony Hill took some wonderful photos on the day, including this scenic shot near the finish.
