Injuries/niggles
Not much to mention really.
- March – slight hamstring strain after the One City Marathon. Recovered enough to do the Shamrock 8K/Marathon double, but probably did more damage than good and struggled for a few weeks leading up to the D3 50K.

Summary
All in all a satisfying year. No PRs, but happy with a couple of age group state records.
