City 2 Surf 2012 - 57:13

Back into the red group again after my crap run from last year. Plus Fairfax have changed the preferred time down to 52 mins for males so may never get it again.
The usual 2 hour wait for me to get front spot in the group. Lucky everyone lets you go in and out for the toilet. Well mostly everyone. Some grumpy security guards didn't believe one time.

My splits were:

5k - 19:40(3:56/k)
Clock 7.2k - 29:40(4:07/k)
10k - 41:40(4:10/k)
Finish 57:13(4:05/k)
10k to the finish in only 15:33 which is pretty bad for me. But we did have a strong southerly this year for the first time in 10 years I think.

Fairfax had a new split mat for King of the Mountain this year. A mat right at the lights as you start up Heartbreak Hill at 6.2ks.

Fairfax splits were:

6.2k - 24:03
King of the Mountain 1.6k - 7:20
Heartbreak to Bondi 6.2k - 25:49
Finish 57:13.

Think this is 3rd fastest time for me. And number 10 C2S!
