Well - there was more than one bus - in fact, there were LOTS of buses - but wife and I could see the queue(s) and we knew where those busloads were headed -to Bondi Junction railway station. So, after my 14 klm "funrun". We walked 5 klms from Bondi Beach to get the Ferry home. So I could almost say that I have done a half -marathon. Well that's what my feet are telling me anyway.
I will tell more about the event when I get home. Suffice it to say that it is unique and I recommend it to all.
My result was 1 hour 45 minutes and 40 seconds. I came in 41,009th out of 67,249 finishers -which must mean that there were around 23,000 DNF. I was 657th out of 1371 in my agegroup of M60-69. There are some fit old F****'s out there. Unfortunately a young 29yo collapsed and died almost at the finishline and from what the newspapers are saying, it must have happened just after i crossed the line.

Great result and achievement. As someone said bitter sweet. I bet you couldn't believe you had to do the extra walk at the end to get home. Rest up and enjoy your times. Very inspirational post.
Fantastic result Bazza. Many congratulations and now enjoy your well deserved holiday. That is such sad news about the young runner. There do seem to have been quite a few stories like that this year sadly
