Both are keen runners, and have been training together on the lead up to their first race where they were both competing.
They did extremely well, Gary coming in at 39mins; with his younger counterpart Joe close up behind him at 39.02mins.
Joe explained that he was leading the whole way, until the last few meters when the more senior of the two came from behind to pip him to the post.
Gary's explanation was that he let Joe take the lead, but thought he would show him that despite the years between them he still had the stamina to beat him.
Their places at 63 and 66 respectively were quite a feat, considering that there were 2852 competitors taking part.
