Found out on Thursday that the course had been changed. The big hill at the back of the course had been changed to a couple of shorter up and down hills instead. Probably made the course faster for me at least. Not sure about other runners.
Was supposed to rain heaps on the coast but due to driving to Nowra I missed all the Sydney rain until I came back into some real heavy stuff at Sutherland.
Course had a couple of small mud spots but was otherwise dry until I had rain for a couple of minutes at the 11k mark. Nothing heavy.
Splits were 3:40- 1k, 7:58- 2k, 16:41- 4k(1st lap), 20:55- 5k, 34:30(2nd lap 17:49), 52:06(3rd lap 17:36).
Always go too hard on this course at the start. Must be the rush to get to the hills. PB by 1:53 over last years 53:59. Was hoping to run the 2nd and 3rd laps closer to the 1st but to no avail.

Hard not to go too hard at the start in championship races. Good time - would have got you 220th at the Vic Titles - you'd think they'd have something better to do!
