#4 City to Surf



#4 City to Surf - Completed 8 August
OH MY GOD. This was so much fun to do!! have never seen so many happy energetic people from all walks of life and what funny costumes.

Up at 6am on a Sunday is not fun, however it turned out to be an absolutely beautiful sunny day - couldn’t ask for anything better.


Only thing that was a bit sad was the amount of people walking on behalf of sick children or people who had passed away from illness - seeing the different t-shirts/costumes was quite inspiring.


Only down side to this whole thing was trying to get out of Bondi at the other end, I joined a very long line of people waiting for a bus but it just didn't move, it was then I started to feel sick, so a nap on the grass was in order (I think my body just realised that it had walked 14kms and was having a late freak out). Felt 100% after that, so rejoined the line and headed back into the city.


The end results was 2:32:50 – This task was so much fun, to be part of the 40th year (started in 1971 the year I was born - how ironic!) I will certainly do next year and hopefully rope some others into joining me - hey I may even wear a costume myself!



Eight down, 32 to go.
