Ran the City to Surf route at lunch with Serg, Mike, Anthony, Chris E and Andy. 15km all up in 62:33 and about 59 minutes for the C2S route.
Main aim was to work out exactly what happens after Heartbreak Hill. There always seems to be one extra turn that I forget year on year that saps the mental spirit when racing. Conclusion after running the course was that:
1. Other than Rose Bay, there are virtually no flat bits.
2. Heartbreak Hill isn't half as bad as it's made out.
3. The hills in Vaucluse following the turn off onto Military Road are the worst section.
So plan has to be to attack the course from the top of HH (8km) until the end of Military Road (11km).
Can't wait.

The slowest part of the race is from 6k(rose bay shops) to 10k at the spot on military rd where the park is. My worst times are in that section. Have to work harder there.
Why don't you just attack the race from 1km - 14km?
Either way, I am sure a 46.xx min is a safer bet than Christmas happening on 25 December this year...unless you run 45.xx min.
