City2Surf 14km Road Race 49:03 2nd M50-59
A sellout 80000 entrants this year for City2Surf. Weather cool and windy. Wind was helping in the first 7km, against for much of the last 7km. Plenty of friends up there making the weekend a very social experience.
My race sector splits: Start to Heartbreak Hill 3:19/km, Heartbreak Hill 4:01/km, Heartbreak Hill to Bondi Beach 3:35/km. I passed 28 runners in the final 6km by running solo. I lost 21 places running up Heartbreak Hill.
Splits: 3:31,3:26,3:26,3:38,3:16,3:29,4:30,3:47,3:20,3:31,3:36,3:10,3:05,3:10.
First M50-59 was John Meagher 40 seconds ahead of me. I didn't see him. Monna was jogging, 53 minutes.
My friends ran well. Jen ran an all-time PB. Gabe had a great run as well racing Pete her son.
25km for the day included pre-race warm up and 7km mostly up warm down from Bondi back to Sydney.
