A beautiful, misty start to the day and it stayed that way throughout the race, which was wonderfully cool to run in. We were supposed to start at 07:30, but at 07:25 they let us know that there was a 15 minute delay - not great, especially when it is chilly, but it was not too bad, and it was nice to start chatting with fellow runners. What I do find a bit strange or against protocol, is that non club members/walkers start right at the front - surely they should start a bit more to the middle?
We couldn't park along the beach road in Sea Point where we usually park, so we parked in a parking area across the road from the Cape Town stadium, which worked out well, half way between the start and the end.
We started at the stadium and ran along through the waterfront, past the aquarium, to the circle, past where the Hectic Nine9 studios are, past the area where Beluga is; turned right at the traffic light past the traffic department back to Sea Point through to Winchester Mansions where the end was.
There were a couple of up hills, so not as flat as the other races in that area. I found it quite a tough race, and walked once, and stopped for a Coke once, so very annoyed with myself.
Time: 01:02:34
