What can I say, it went really well! We had a few hours of good sunshine, followed by a light drizzle, but it was still warm enough for thongs weather. There were a few late comers such as those that went to shindig nation the night before, and many people didn’t even come, perhaps due to the weather. I guess I know though more now who my friends really are
It was unfortunate to hear from a friend that a mutual friend of ours had a friend pass away. He (Tom W.) was someone known by all of the A-Team, and I distinctly remember playing wingman for this guy one night at the Havelock. I never really knew him well, but my heart goes out to Gary in particular (one of his good friends) and all the rest of his family and friends. Hopefully we see you soon Gaz. I remember Tom being very determined, not only with ‘chatting up the ladies’ that night at the Havelock, but also his efforts on the track. Tom was a bit of an inspiration to me with his running, he had invited me to join his uni athletics club at some stage, I wish I did. He kicked my arse at the City to Bay last year, and I was hoping to kick his butt back this year
I hereby dub my efforts for the City to Bay this year for Tom Wright, even though I never really knew him.
