City 2 Surf



This weekend was the big City 2 Surf event in Sydney, Australia. It's fairly similar to San Francisco's Bay to breakers (minus the naked people and the bar floats). It's basically a 14k run/walk through the city which raises money for a number of charities. This year there were nearly 70,000 people who participated and Chris and I were two of those people. Chris has been training a little for the event and ran most of the way finishing the 14k in about 96 minutes! Yay Chris! Here's a quick map that shows the route. Click here.

I on the other hand didn't train at all, and walked the 14k, took pictures along the way and finished in 136 minutes. Always room to improve... Maybe next year i'll run it?



Anyways, here are a couple of pictures from the day, and of course a pic of me crossing the finish line above. That was a pic courtesy of Chris - who made me run the last part which he joined me in!

There's also a pic of team AGSM!

Congrats again to Kerri, Ann, Pedro, Lee, Gabriel and Colin!
