Blue Mountains

Posted on by robandlinds

The Blue Mountains are about 2 hours west of Sydney. We stayed at a bed and breakfast (minus the breakfast) in a town called Katoomba.

Lots of cliffs and waterfalls

This trail was for “experienced walkers only”

Took awhile to find a place to set the camera and set the automatic timer.

These are the Three Sisters, one of the biggest attractions at the Blue Mountains

City2Surf Results

Posted on by robandlinds
There were 86,000 racers that signed up this year – which turned out to be the largest amount in the history of the City2Surf!  It’s also the biggest race in the world, yet they only had 4-5 waves!!

Race Results:

Rob Camp – Net Time (1hr:13min:22sec) finished in the top 73% of all male racers and 70% of all male racers between the ages of 20-29.

Lindsey Ralph – Net Time (1hr:13min:21sec) finished in the top 94% of all female racers and 94% of all female racers between the ages of 20-29.

Starting Line: Hyde Park

They need to take the advice of those racers in Boulder.

 Pretty chilly morning…

 All the clothes were donated to Charity

We had to pee within the first 15 minutes of the race..
Not the best sign when there’s a line for the toliets at the first stop.

(They call restrooms or bathrooms, toliets. 
If you’re ever coming to visit and suddenly nature calls,
be sure to ask,
“Where is the toliet?“)
