Some of our good stair runners are equally good mountain runners. The girl I was telling you about ran in the last World Champs. And yes, another Aussie expat Suzy Walsham, had a 'meeting' with the door frame before winning last year. Julie’s right. Some of our good stair runners are equally good mountain runners.

I'll have to keep up with it (or, at the least, come back to it.)

I'd never do that race (not only because I hate crowds and am mildly claustrophobic, but I fear tripping since I tend to be a natural shuffler). But I'm looking forward to that sure-to-be-unique race report. You should try a mountain race after that one maybe get another pop from all the stairs work.

I'll have to get there early and try to fight for a spot close to the start. So I keep hearing from everyone… I’ll have to get there early and try to fight for a spot close to the start.

Well, the doorframe might technically be the hardest. Just don't hit it. Yeah, apparently the crazy crush to get into the stairwell is the hardest part.
