Didn't spend long planning my route (prefer the challenge of doing this on the run) other than deciding to go east first, and this cost me towards the end when I was less than optimal in my shortened route back to the finish. Was struggling to find the controls in places, should have looked at the descriptions really.
Legs weren't feeling fresh, and the hills and the heat took their toll, good fun run out though.

Started off with wonderful deserted clifftop bush around the firing ranges east of Malabar, quite tough running, leaping around open rock and tight sandy trails to Maroubra.
Then it was coastal path all the way to Bondi, really nice route but with quite a few big flights of steps coupled with the heat I was struggling by the time I hit Bronte. Despite carrying water (and quite a full bag) the regular bubblers on the final section were very welcome.
Massive burrito and dip in the sea a suitable reward.

Tried to run from Macquarie Uni to the park direct following a supposed path (on OSM) through the creek, struggled to find the path in the first place then when I did, got to the river to find no bridge. Decided to then go on a google maps tip that suggested there was a path from Khartoum Rd to Yanko Rd. This turned out to be a pipeline, which, while I probably could have got across somehow, I couldn't really be bothered with.
So with 8km in my legs, in rather warm weather, I decided to cut my losses and save the 13 bucks the race would have cost me to spend on beer instead. Ho hum.
