I was 578th last year on gun time in 56:37 and this year 443rd on gun time in 55:05. All the times above are gun times.
I have been given 54:52 as my net time as apparently I took 13 seconds to cross the start mat so hopefully will get a preferred start next year.

So this year those equal to 55 mins was about line ball with last year losing only 8 people. The Top 100 were slack, running 39 seconds slower. The Top 500 were 3 seconds faster than last year. And the Top 1000 blew out from 59:12 last year to 59:38.

Maybe the Southerly head wind running into Bondi slowed some of us down?

mate! Awesome to hear about the net time - that's brilliant!

Funnily enough, my goal has always been to finish inside the top 500 (and getting preferred would be the bonus). And my PB is 55.33, but that was in 2005. In 2006 it would have got me the 500 spot! I'm fairly certain it was much quicker in 05 as I don't think I was even inside the top 550?

I found the conditions pretty good - as good as I can remember really, except for that year there was a westerly tailwind. Didn't notice any headwind, but maybe that's because I'm running in a tight pack the whole way!

I think you'll get the preferred off your net time.
