City to Surf in Sydney

We recently came back from our trip down under to visit our friends Tim, Jude and Scarlet. When planning it, it worked out that it was going to be the same weekend as the Sydney City to Surf, 14km road race. I persuaded Lauren that we should sign up and so we did. The race, which starts up in the city above the harbour bridge and ends at the famous Bondi Beach was filled with 75,000 men, women and children. What a great site.

This run was never going to be any more than a fun run and that it was. For several miles, I pushed the stroller, albeit without Scarlet inside. At one point, I get sperated from Tim and Lauren and I ended up looking like a weirdo, running along with a full size pram, complete with [almost] life size scary looking doll. Weird.

Nice to run on another continent and in fantastic warm and dry conditions. I will put this down as a race to do a little more competitively again in the future. Hilly though - will need some serious mountain training.

thanks to the Jarvises for their great hospitatilty.
