Hi: This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.
I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

December 25th, 2005 | Owen Merry Christmas Everyone
October 18th, 2005 | Owen So, I made it. 21.3 Km and I only walked when I was taking on water. I did the Amsterdam half marathon in 2 hours, 13 minutes exactly, I didn’t come last!
It sure took it out of me, the last five Km were very, very hard, my legs and knees were giving me a lot of problems and I lost quite a bit of time in the final stage, but I didn’t walk!
My friend Kevin did the whole marathon in 3h53m, which was a personal best for him, and his wife Lucy also broke her best in the half marathon with 2h22m. We had a grand weekend 
You can see my results for yourself on the Uitslagen site, simply enter my startnumber, 15291 and you’ll get the result.
September 20th, 2005 | Owen Tired little legs but recovering now, I ran the Damloop.
The 16.1 kilometers took me 1 hour 44 minutes and 28 seconds, and was great fun. I know I can run faster too.

Here is a picture of me looking stupid at the 15k mark:
[note to self.. just run when you see the camera next time!]
August 3rd, 2004 | Owen Hurrah for Zodiac and Mercury.. She’s rubber, and only 2.8m long, but with a 5 Hp motor she moves nicely. Now to go into Amsterdam..
