Sutherland2Surf 2011

How good was the weather for the Sutherland2Surf 2011!? So much for wet and wild. Calm, cool and sunny - another perfect race day in Sydney. My race was far from perfect though. Two weeks in Fiji followed by a week with a cold equals under prepared. Nevermind. I still managed a 44:01 so was ok.

The only thing I would change is the starting chute: put in some time indication flags so runners can self-seeding more appropriately. I thought I was near the front but got caught up in a very slow start.
Cities Marathon this Sunday. I'll be aiming for 4:30min/km average to finish in 3:10.

Also, the most exciting news is that I have ordered a new Garmin Forerunner 610! Should be on it's way from the US in the next couple of weeks, packed full of new features and a more slim-lined casing. Hurray!
