S.I.S.T.E.R.

This year we - Kathryn, Amy & I - tackled the whole (12km) City-to-Bay. We even made special t-shirts with our team name - S.I.S.T.E.R.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day - although it was a bit hot when the breeze disappeared - & we were amongst a crowd of nearly 35,000 people.

The run definitely wasn't easy, but it did feel good (especially at the end.....when I got to stop :P ). I was also pleased with my time of 1 hour 41 minutes.
