Kerryn McCann 'unplugged'

August 2005

Kerryn has been competing on a National and International level for as long as I can remember. Kerryn is true testament to the fact that consistent preparation over a long period ‘will’ bring rewards. 

Kerryn continues to go from strength to strength and her recent performance in the 2005 City to Surf clearly indicates that Australia's reigning Commonwealth Games Gold medalist from Manchester is a serious contender in the Marathon at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. 

Not only is Kerryn a World class Marathoner, she is also a mother of two. I had a chat with Kerryn and asked her what effect having Benton and Josie has had on her running career. 

I hope you enjoy the interview. 

Cheers 

Pat
