It runs in the family

Sue Wright, an administrator with the Centre for Legal & Applied Research, has an enviable Two Oceans race pedigree - five ultra marathons and, after the race a few weeks ago, five half marathons.

This year was particularly memorable for other than just finishing her 10th Two Oceans race, though. For the first time, Wright tackled a half marathon with daughter, final-year law student Michelle. Even better, both ran in UCT colours, a first for a mother-daughter pair, according to coach James Evans.

Michelle finished her first Two Oceans run in 02:14, mom got home in around 02:31. "It was very special to finish at UCT with my daughter in her final year of law," said Wright.
