The first wave is away and Paul Rodway takes the opportunity to practice his race finish
|
The new start/finish on the waterfront showed how vulnerable
everybody is to the bitterly cold wind that strikes from the north in
springtime.
Daryl the dude told folks
that they would have a nice-tail wind on the way back to the finish, but was a bit
sceptical about that.
The pink runner warning signs were well placed but it probably
won’t slow down the kamikaze cyclists.
The 5k signs marking the finish chute also make the finish area more obvious (especially to the wandering pedestrians) which is a big improvement on the old course. So the fastest time (16.45) on the new course created last week is still intact, but we will have to see if Steve Day, or some other mountain runner, turns up sometime to try and smash it, just for a bit of fun.  |
