...The big story that year was the presence of Indian runner "Tirtha Phani", he arrived with a reputation that made Yiannis Kouros look like a weekend hacker but trailed the field by so far that he was pulled out of the race in Albury. Tirtha returned later to run the Colac 6 day event and spent more time in his tent than he did on the track, Tirtha Phani was quickly dubbed "Tirtha Phoney"....
