City to Surf

888DAG.com>>>>Walked down to Bondi Beach this morning to watch the first few runners make it to the end-it was pretty chilly standing around but interesting to watch all the different styles of runners-some with lovely fluid motions , some shuffling, some rhythmic, some jolting -not quite sure why it is called a "fun run" for those who made it to the finish within the hour and there wasn't much "fun" showing on their faces! Lots of grim determination! I think the "fun" comes from those in silly clothes-actually saw one guy in full business suit with mobile phone to his ear run through within 70 minutes-now that is commitment! Then slobbed out at home and watched our first gold medal in the pool-excellent! At least the Australian Anthem played all the way through-the gremlins were with the Americans.
