We finished!!


Hi!
We did it - and we finished!!!
What I am talking about?? City-2-Surf of course!! :-)

We (Andy and me) were full of energy last sunday so that we easily ran 10 out of 14k`s (at least) and finished the half-marathon exactly after 2hours and 5mins. That was quite good keeping in mind all the 68.000 people who ran, jogged, walked and crawled with us. Due to the crowd, the lack of training and the beautiful (rich) areas the marathon went through we couldn´t run all the time... sometimes we just wished to win 10000000000000000 (or even more?) Dollar to buy one of these beautiful homes with the best views: one side Harbour Bridge, Opera House and CBD, other side beaches and sea... *I´m sooo jealous*

But now I know why I want to work 20hours a day in the future: I want to have such a home on the small hills so close to Sydney!!!!!

But let´s stop dreaming... here are some facts for you to know:

68.000 people enrolled (and paid) for city 2 surf
53.113 is the last number of all those finished the marathon (of those who were enrolled)
67.395 was my "starting-number"
32.141 is my "arrival-number" - as you can see: I passed more or less 35.000 people hahaha :-)

All I can say is: It was a marvellous morning (I had to get up at 7 to meet at 7:30 for leaving to Hyde Park), it was absolutely warm (even hot while running), we had perfect weather, the people are soo nice and it was just a lot of fun!!!!

Hope to get some news from all of you soon!

Cheers
Stephanie
