how was that wind? looks pretty atrocious outside.

Wind was miserable, however this coopers pale tastes like victory

Did you get into the tent?

I haven't seen him yet

Waiting for update on Meg's abs

I'm at bond I hotel ****s

Stupidly set my garmin to stop at 14km. Obviously was fkin to be a bit longer due to weaving.

Watch time was 71:11. Official time will be around 72.

Yeah buddy. Where we drinking?

Finished, gun time 79.13, had enough left for a sprint finish

Didn't see any of the others, but Eddie was st the back if our start group so he's prolly a little behind me.

And now we drink!

Fucking awesome work guys!

Well done fellahs!

The run/walk strategy went out the door as soon as I got there, there was just too much atmosphere to soak up and enjoy. Conserved energy for the hill, then fucking stepped it up and saw it out with enough left to charge when I saw the finishing block. Oh my, no finer sight has hit my eyes.

Logged 89 mins. Was hoping to do under 100. Yeah buddies.

Top effort Marshy, impressive.

68:55! Stoked. Wanted to crack 75. Could have gone faster in the first 5 but wasn't sure about the old knee. But felt so good during the run. Couldn't get Internet reception at Bondi to find you cunce.

Next year I'm going for 65.

Too cold to reveal. But They all had a good time under the bib. Not sure if they appreciated the chocolate muffin post race though.

Good to hear

Meg we're at the Teagarden in the junction if you fancy a pint.

Oh yeah, nice time too.

Scotty did good
Dave did good
Eddie did good
Meg did good
I failed again: (

Meg, I added you on Facebook, because I'm the prettiest.

Was coming home as all the runners were heading out... yeeeeeup! that was a lil uncomfortable haha

So Scotty, what's the status with melbs girl? She come up or what?

I think Scotty's gonna seal the deal there, just quietly.

She got caught at work on Saturday and missed her flight. Not happy but I'll see her in 3 weeks when I head to Melbourne.

Lol SM, Glenn and Eddie saw that I wasn't just making this shit up.

Also, I feel bad for SM, his FZ is so much hotter than mine. And he's in it do much worse than me.

Dave's FZ is an awesome chick, hangouts on Saturday were great.

You in the FZ to?

Not sure

I think her FZ pretty much encompasses half the male population.

Fuck off, she's white anyway.

Nice to know you all would though

I did say exception.

Exception handling.

WOULD.

But wouldn't because you'd rip my ballsack off

I'm not in the fz I left before she fell in love with me, was a close call

After that 'love' conversation we had in surprised she didn't say "challenge accepted"

Just joking, she's rad. Would be nice to hang out again, and good seeing you again Dave!

And damn Eddie you really are slim and lean these days, good job mate.

Lolz Scotty is totes FZed.

Damnit.

Well I went to bed shaking my head and have woken up the same. Was aiming for under 60 mins and time came through at 1.00.03. Very deflating but motivating I guess, going to print out the certificate and hang it on my wall as motivation. Got held up in crowds (1st tunnel was terrible), lot of zig zagging, was wedged into a complete stop at a drinks station and struggled into the wind the last few k's but it's that close I could have made that up somewhere ,not that I felt like i could have given more. I actually got more hold ups this year in red group then I did last year in the orange pram pushers group. Friggen freezing at the end.

well done runners. Some solid times up there with those shithouse conditions.

I'm right in thinking that there was a time split at the bottom and top of heartbreak hill?

When/where do those official times go up?

I ran 62 minutes on my timer. 4 mins 26 seconds per km. Going to grab the SMH tomorrow to check my official time which may be a minute or two more, I was at the very back of the blue group and the whole of College Street was a walk.

Probably in for 2013, keen to push it harder in certain sections and try and better this year. It's an awesome morning with plenty of atmosphere, which really fuels the pace for the run.

Congrats to all those who participated and finished.

When do the results go up online? Or are they just in the paper?

And are the official times from the gun or from when you cross the start line?

They'll go online too eventually (presume tomorrow) as you can find the previous year's results online as well: http://www.city2surf.com.au/default.asp?PageID=17808

I'm just checking out the upcoming running events here: http://www.coolrunning.com.au/calend...=NSW&Months=12

Looking for one in another 6-8 weeks to keep me honest, if anyone has any recommendations that would be tops.

Marshy... You can kill two birds with one stone so to speak (writing and running) if you did the Saddleback Smash in Kiama.

A 6km hill climb. Sounds like my kind of party. Cheers.

Lucky it doesn't count in the race then eh?

I thought the official time would be going from when I heard the gun go off, but just saw on the map it's from the top of William Street.

Think a downloadable certificate becomes available soon with your time for all those unable to buy the SMH (not sure if that paper can be bought in other states).
