  • Comments: Loved it - this was my first city to surf. It was well run, loads of volunteers, loads of people cheering - the view back from the top of St Georges Terrace was amazing, one long line of people! And the fact I was in the top 40% of a run is mind blowing for me!!! I couldn't even run 1km without taking a break this time last year, and now I've completed 2 triathlons, done the swim leg of a HIM and now done this. Roll on summer and tri season, all ending up at Busso hopefully for the HIM.

  • Comments: The organisation of the race was fantastic, getting 40000 people into the CBD and back home again is no mean feat. All public transport to and from the race was free, with lots of extra trains and there were free shuttle buses from the finish off the race back to the start. A huge number of buses had been laid on so didn't have to wait long even though the queue was enormous. Getting my bag back took ages but I was prepared for that and I don't really see how this can be done quicker, although there was a lot of unnecessary complaining about it. Most runners just mucked in and helped sort the bags while I saw others going around picking up litter while they were waiting or lending their mobile phones. Great event. Next year the half-marathon I hope.
