A week lagging. This event was actually last Sun in Sydney (12th August 2007). We booked a bus and were set for a day trip to Sydney specially for this 14km-charity marathon event. Cost us $38 for the event and $20 for the transportation. Well, it was for charity after all. We had fun at the end of the day and that mattered the most.

There were helicopters flying above us, forming words in the sky. This one said, "HI JH"
Didn't get what it meant. "Hi, Jia Huei" maybe =p Haha..

We started off behind (back of the pack) as we stated that we were not running competitively. You could imagine the sea of people covering the whole street. The winner actually finished the race in about 50 minutes before we even started running.

People dressing up creatively and offering free beer. Nice, weren't they? Even gave us encouragement as we moved on.

We basically took our own sweet time and walked our way through the finishing line, which explained why you can't see the crowd around us anymore. Oh no no..the real reason was because we diverged and had breakfast in Mc Donalds before continuing the race.

One of the best picture we took along the way. Well, needless to say, I was the one behind the lens =p Every single kilometer was marked with banners. We completed the race in 4 hours and 30 minutes (Reminder: the winner took about 50 minutes) by running the last 100 meters and ended up in the bottom 100. So cool right? Our names proudly appeared 2 days later in Sydney Morning Herald at the bottom of the list =)
