Experience of city to bay training: The Sunday sessions were a great way to train for the race because Hien made us aware of the different types of training we should be doing to make sure we were at our best for the race. Each week was a new experience which I definitely loved to hate. The social interaction was great too and it made running the city to bay a very memorable experience that we shared not only with ourselves but also each other. We were able to train at our own pace but still trained as a team so that by the time it got to the day of the city to bay we were a very close knit team.
Completing the city to bay run: Finishing the race was such a fulfilling moment.
During the whole race and even more so once I had crossed the finish line I knew that the Sunday training sessions had paid off as much as they hurt at the time. Being able to meet up with the group in the tent after the race was also really good because even though we had all run the race individually, we had grown as a team and were just as interested to know how everyone else had gone on the day. Running down Anzac Highway I was very proud to be running in the Fitness 24 singlet and to know that I was part of such a great team of people.
