Cruisy jog along with hilarity, who wasn't having a particularly comfortable day. One of her friends tried to hug-crush her to death at the start - I can't imagine that helped.
Saw the aftermath of a couple of nasty falls, including two first-aiders bolting through the pack of joggers while weighed down with kit to get to a cyclist who had somehow crashed at the Oceanic/West Coast Highway intersection. Another girl was down in the middle of the road just near the top of the hill on Oceanic in lots of pain - no bones sticking out through the skin and plenty of helpers, so continued on.
No mimosas at the T. When I complained, they told me I had taken too long and they had all been drunk.
Made up for it with a pint of beer at Clancy's after the run. But even with that time-wasting ploy in place, it still took nearly 2 hours to make it home after deciding to leave the beach.
Might do the half next year, or alternatively run in costume. Or, y'know, got to MTBO...
