Tout down to walk
NZPA staff correspondent Sydney The support crew of the ultra-marathoner, Dick Tout, was still hopeful last night that the New Zealander could produce a burst over the final stages to secure second place in the Sydney to Melbourne run. Tout, down almost to a walk last evening, relinquished second place In the 1050 km endurance
event when he was overtaken by Britain’s Patrick Macke near Pakenham, about 120 km from the finish. The Aucklander, who was the leader for the first six hours of the race, had been second behind the Greek entrant Yannis Kouros, since the first day. Kouros is the only competitor so far to have finished.
