Sydney Half Marathon 2015

Each year, I try to do at least one half marathon (used to be marathon but now it is only half marathon…!). This year the Sydney half Marathon was the target mainly because the marathon course included running over Sydney Harbour Bridge. Besides the SHB sector (which was kilometers 2 to 3 in the race), it was a most scenic run all around the harbour front area of Sydney City. I ran with a friend and colleague from the office who has shared a few adventures with me now…including Mt Kinabalu climb, Oxfam Trailwalks in 2013 (100km) and 2014 (55km) and now Sydney Half Marathon in 2015. Photos below capture some of the action – prerace, during race and post race.
