Really enjoyed the event, got a really cool Tartan Kilt with the race registration, met up with Andrea (abird) around 3:30pm at the race kit pick-up by chance, and we toured the downtown Perth, in, say, about 2 minutes ...
Sat around and chatted a bit, then a short little warmup before the festitives started ....It was about 28-29C at the start, plus whatever humidex ... the course was not exactly flat, but did contain quite a bit of rollers ... first 2-3K or so was in around the city roads, then we headed on the the golf course, and ran along the path for about 3.5 - 4K before getting back on the roads and to the finish line ...
As for my race, held my 5K pace for about the first 3K then found myself at my 1/2 marathon tempo pace, holding it around 4:30mpk for the last 5K or so, and with about 150m or so, once we turned to the home stretch, there were couple of runners chatting together and, my garmin was hitt 34:30 or so, so I did my usual kick, and passed one of them about 5m from the finish line, in a time of 34:47 and 21st overall ...
When I looked at the results, I noticed that they had age groupings by 20 increments
I was 22nd overall and 10th in my AG (40-59) ... 
So, opted to leave instead of sticking around for another 45-60 minutes before the awards ceremony was schedule to begin ... as I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to be eligible ... unless they decided to change the age group increments ... So, quite happy with my performance, this being my second event over the past 36 hours and 3rd in 6 days ...

I think sub 35 in a kilt is especially impressive.
