City to Surf
I did it! I ran the City to Surf! In one hour 40 minutes, which is about the time I expected. Actually I hoped to do it in about one hour 30, but a toilet stop, drink stations and negotiating the crowd added another 10 minutes or so. Apart from that, I ran the entire distance, including all the way up Heartbreak Hill, which wasn't quite as formidable as I feared; it's not especially steep, just very looonnngg.
It's very pleasing to succeed in this little goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year, to go from barely being able to run a kilometre to running this famous 14km event.
And now: rest. And beer!
