City2Surf

This is a big run that takes place in Sydney every August.  A run from the city centre all the way out to Bondi Beach, a total distance of 14k.  Although not running it, it was finishing just down the road from the flat so and I know several people that were running it.  Knowing how much it means to see people you know at the end of a run, after doing the edinburgh 10k last year, I decided to go and support them. 

80,000 people were taking part and it was incredibly difficult to find anyone I knew running over the the finishing line.  However, I did see my mates terry, gemma and justine finishing though.  It was a great atmosphere around Bondi today and it was thoroughly enjoyable being out watching everyone. 

Afterwords, everyone heads to the pubs around Bondi, so I decided this was part of the activity I could definitely take part in.  Although after spending a couple of hours in the Beach Road Hotel, it was more than enough.  It was packed the brim, you just couldn't move and after spending time trying to find people.  I decided enough was enough and I left everyone to it.

Well done to everyone I know that completed it, Gemma, Justine, Terry, Will, Josh, Sean and Joshie!
