My sister Lyn and I walked in the City2Surf event yesterday morning. We commuted by bus arriving in the Square 30 minutes before the walk started. We managed to get close to the start, unlike last year when it took ages to feel the open space. It was a cool overcast day which were perfect conditions.
The Mayoress of Christchurch started the race off. We did the first three kilometres at a rate of just under 9mins/km which was great. We reached halfway (6kms) at Porritt Park in 55 minutes but had to slow down for the 6km walkers who were starting. We continued the steady pace finishing in 1:53:24 which is terrific for Lyn who did no training. She had one blister and was stiff at the end.
15000 participants took part in this annual event.
