I actually arrived at Nth Bondi about 9:30 and started the stop watch only about 10 secs behind race time. Chatted to a couple of guys who were having moet and breakfast on the little island just sth of the golf club.Maybe I should have joined them for one.
Met up with Johnny Dark and Gronk as the unofficial cheer squad just near Nth Bondi Rsl corner(about 1k to go). Had a lot of fun yelling go striders(as the 3 of us are) and go cool runner to everyone we saw.As usual high and low points with some races. Looking for Vat_man at a certain time point but the flu had slowed him up.
Watched Fats blitz the course and run to the bar waiting for John Dawlings to catch up. Sorry John.Boof was in disguise so we missed him.Watching Action still chasing Vespa after 13ks at that point.
Spotted 5 miners but they weren't minersrun.The dozen budgy smugglers in pink sluggos.Two guys running past covered in aluminum(usa speak) foil and cardboard airplane boxes. It was the space shuttle.Being recognised by Robin(batman) who ran past and waved at us, we had no idea who it was. Found out later it was Uncle Dave in disguise after losing his bet with Running Wolf.
Had a great time cheering, nice to do it from the other side sometimes when you can't run. Thanks to JD and Gronk for the company for 2 hours of cheering.
MPHaz went past us at about 47mins so I guess was 51-52?
And Blue Dog managed a 55:06. Maybe next year under 55mins.
Thanks for the Beer Blue Dog and the fire brigade, and the Striders for setting up at 3am. Wow.
Be back next year for Running duties.
