City To Surf

[Jamezilla]

Howdy

I'm making a foolish trip up from Melbourne to do the City-to-Surf.

Any of you guys running?

Anyone done it before care to pass on some tips?

Anyone care to have a beer afterwards?

A beer is the last thing you'll want after running/walking that far!!!

I've done it 2 years in a row and it's good fun. People along the way hose you down out of they're front yards, there's people having parties alongthe way etc... it's a great atmosphere.

The only problem is getting home after the event as the public transport gets VERY packed out!

...and trying to find a beer would be a tough call at bondi. place will be packed!

have fun

I might go and try and have a beer.. get there at like 6 am so I can get in somwherehaha

[Marsss]

running is bad for ya!!!!

[Haysey]

look for me half way up the esses... ill be at my mates place... checking out the hotties... yelling abuse... tryin to get people up the hill faster so we can drive again... hosing people... water bombs and thats prob it.....

if your at the pub for ages you can do the run on the back of the truck that picks up all the road blocking equipt.. they pick all the stragglers up

[Jamezilla]

Hehe - cool.

I'll try and wear some form of SAU or Team Wang identifying clothing.

Should be easy to spot in the 65,000 other people

How bad is the hill? Steep, or just long?

[Kel]

I'll be in one of the corporate tents drinking champagne at the end of the race!

PM me if you want to catch up.

The hill is more long and winding then steep.

Two tips.

1)

Get a drink at every drink stop, whether you think you need it or not. And make it water NOT[\b] whatever sports drink they're trying to palm off that year. The sugar will only speed up your dehydration whilst your running. Save thos drinks for after.

2)

Stay clear of those idiots spraying you with water from their hoses. They shouldn't be wasting the water for one and the extra weight it adds to you at the end of the race really makes it hard on those last few flat sections. Especially when your shoes and socks are soaked through.

Good luck man.

My 20th city to surf this year..... so im definately going..

Going to the Bledisloe cup on saturday night so i might have to spend a few minutes at each water stop on the way

[Jamezilla]

Thanks all for the tips

Kel: Another friend will be in the Prudential corp area, so I'll head that way when I finish. Send me an SMS and I'll join you for a celebratory drink!

If there is one good thing with us getting no rain these days its water restrictions. Normally alot of the people in the house you go by have a hose out. Last year there was not one. So again this year there will be no hoses. So your feet will keep dry.

If you keep your eye out you should be able to get about 4 free beers and 2 glasses of wine along the way. Just look out for house parties.

For the pub crawlers there are 2 pubs on the way and plenty at the finish.

Also look out for the krispy kream donuts at the end.

Sl!m, that is the breast idea ever! I am also keen to do so!

The closet thing to running that i get is either to the toilet or when me and the boys go to Maccas, there is always arush on who gets served first.

This man is Victorian royalty...look after him, just keep him away from the behind the lens of a camera as the images he captures will haunt you for all eternity.

How long you in Sydney for??? I fly up in the morning

[Jamezilla]

75mins - wooh!

Thanks for the lovely weather Kel - I really appreciate it

Was good fun - that hill is a killer... but I think the worst bit is the little rise as you pass the end of the beach in Bondi. Shall do it again next year - and try to bust 70mins.

Bris: About to head to the airport now

Is a superb day here - wish I could stay. How long you up for?

Must be in Melb on the 27th
