City to Surf

An early get-up to watch the coming in of the City to Surf runners. The race is between the city and Bondi. This is the run that Gavin often does in his granny's purple dress to raise money for charity but unfortunately he wasn't doing it this year.

Two Ocean's Fun Run

I had every intention of keeping up with my little nephew on this 5 km fun run but after 5 minutes I realised that was going to be impossible! So I took it easy and enjoyed walking and chatting with Jo, punctuated by some occasional running. We didn't break any speed records, but thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. And we had enough energy to sprint the last 100 metres to the finish in front of all the crowds!!

Balmoral Burn

I went to the "Balmoral Burn" today with Charles and the Mosman Camera Club to take some photos. Basically the Balmoral Burn is a 420 meter road race straight up a hill starting from Balmoral Beach. The races are split up into fun categories like kiddies and parents, dogs and their owners etc. - and some serious categories too. It was a lot of fun but there was quite a bit of pain etched onto faces too - it's a steep climb. I was happy to take some snaps from the sidelines and not compete on this occasion.

Dogs and Owners Race - Mack would have loved it!

Kids and Parents Race

This little guy wanted to make it all on his own!

This muscle bound chap opened up a huge lead at the start of the "professional" male race and pummelled himself up the hill only to collapse and end last.
