Speaking to Channel 7 after the race, Robinson, a Queenslander, was beaming. Robinson noted the change in the weather after the race, and said: “Look how great the weather is now ... it couldn’t be like this 20 minutes ago.” Of course, during the race Robinson was running in the tumbling rain, and Richardson quizzed him on that white cap. Robinson avoided earlier drama in the race when a runner in the pack lost his footing and briefly went down before bouncing back up. “I was saying that if the race was a little faster, then it takes a lot more time to recoup,” Robinson said.
