Cold with light westerly blowing. Great conditions. Last year ran 57.50 and planned to run 1 minute faster this year. Twenty nine minutes at 7k, and 56.40 across the line. Its always hard to get going after standing for an hour at the start and the first three k's were a struggle, but then I just sat on 4min/k pace. By luck or experience I came in exactly as planned and feeling well. Then ran back to Rose Bay and walked with Michele and Serena to the finish.
Terrific effort Al, Michele and Serena. Watched the race on TV - looked cold standing around at the start.
