Mohammed entered his first Marathon at Oxford Falcon last Sunday with a second place position and promotion to Geoff Sanders Division A. The experience gained at Oxford gave Mohammed an amazing victory just one week later. His time for the 3 mile race was 34 minutes. The J14 paddler, will now be racing in Division 9, double the distance, and against all ages.
