Up at 7am today to get ready for the City to Surf.
At the start area by 8.30, long wait till the start of our group at approx 9.15. Weather has taken a turn for the cold here so kept jacket & jogging bottoms on for as long as poss before giving to K (who had retired due to injury!).
75,000 entrants this year so a pretty good atmosphere, really enjoyed the whole race and was especially pleased with my time of 71mins 20secs, which is a lot quicker than I'd expected!
Splits as follows:
Km 1-4, 21m37s
Km 5, 4m27s
Km 6, 5m18s
Km 7, 6m07s (Heartbreak Hill!)
Km 8, 5m02s
Km 9, 4m23s
Km 10, 5m28s
Km 11, 5m16s
Km 12, 4m40s
Km 13, 3m59s
Km 14, 4m55s
Met up with K and a few friends at the end, fortified with a bacon & egg roll before heading to the pub for a few beers and good chat. A good day!
PS: according to official results, I was in top 16% of all runners, top 5% of all female runners and top 6% of all female runners in my age group. Not bad!!
