Having felt crap for the last couple of weeks and losing my voice in the last few days before the big day, I was pleased to finish the race at all.
But to finish in 1:23:41 (on my watch) was excellent - especially as I ran the whole way with a good mate of mine.
KM splits were:
1st km 6:21 0:06:21
2nd km 6:18 0:12:39
3rd km 6:18 0:18:57
4th km 6:06 0:25:03
5th km 5:41 0:30:44
6th km 6:09 0:36:52
7th km 6:35 0:43:28
8th km 5:54 0:49:22
9th km 5:25 0:54:47
10th km 6:17 1:01:04
11th km 6:05 1:07:10
12th km 5:27 1:12:36
13th km 5:21 1:17:57
14th km 5:44 1:23:41
It was a very hot day (by Sydney winter standards) so I had a big problem with staying hydrated. It was apparently a record field too so that made it difficult to get close to the drink stations. I ducked into my company tent for a bite to eat and some more fluids afterwards, but didn't hang around too long.
I didn't bother with the bus queue - preferring to walk back up Bondi Road to the train station.
Another good day. I really enjoy this event and will definitely be back next year - assuming no injuries etc.
Maybe I'll aim to beat my PB set in 1991 of 1:11:48!

Well done mate. A great run on the back of a disrupted preparation. Hey that time up HBH was pretty solid. It seems that the big hill didn't seem to bother you much ?
Well done to you Gronk on your excellent PB!
I think my steady paced start helped me to get up HBH fairly well. That out and back at the end still surprises me though!
Well done Nottslad on a great run. It was very warm on Sunday and I was glad not to racing. What's next for you?
I might have a quick run over the bridge in September!
Good work Nottslad!
