After training through the darkest and coldest Canberra winter mornings, a dedicated group of FIT women took on the challenge of City2Surf last Sunday – along with 90,000 other enthusiastic runners and walkers! We had absolutely perfect running conditions – sunny and light winds – and the atmosphere along the course was amazing. Bands, DJs, dancers and drag queens cheered us on through the undulating streets between Hyde Park and Bondi. Our morning laps of the arboretum paid off as we conquered Heartbreak Hill and eventually enjoyed the fast descent into Bondi. A big congratulations to everyone who participated and a massive thank you to Tash who put together the 12 week running program that got us to the finish line and encouraged us every step of the way! Who’s in for next year?
