Event: City2Surf
8 AM
Running race (City to Surf) 1:00:14 [5] 14.0 km (4:18 / km)
shoes: DS Trainers
Pleased with my run considering no (real) training in the last four months. Joined a painfully slow toilet queue at 7:20 and was still waiting at 7:51 (Red start was at 7:55). So just time for a number 1 and a sprint to the back of the Red start group (~5000 runners). They started us at 8am in the end and it was fun to see a sea of people ahead of me move under the start banner and down the road in front of us. Although I wasn't slowed down too much by the people in front and around me, I was always doing a bit of weaving and overtaking for a lot of it. There were just so many people. That's what you get when you enter the "world's biggest race!"
The first km marker I saw was 5km and I'd taken 21:15 which I thought was good pacing early on without a gps watch. Heartbreak Hill was a bit of a beast but there were also heaps of other undulations to keep you working. Passed Kelly at 40mins, she gave me a cheer and I was impressed she spotted me in amongst the masses! With a couple of km to go we thankfully hit the downhill section into Bondi, I ran this pretty strongly but just not fast enough to crack the hour!
Matt ran a very good race and got to rub shoulders with the super elite in their special little start block right at the front. The weather was stunning and it was a really awesome event to do. Tick ;)
