did the bridge to brisbane today!!! ong it was AWESOME! did it with our netball team. had to wake up at 5.00 (yeah, in the morning... i know right...) but it wasnt too bad. i actually felt reallyyy awake. i was racing around (in the dark might i add) getting ready coz my coach was coming to pick me up, so all i ate was a banana.
went back to their place and waited for everyone to get there then got going. we were stuck in traffic for ages obviously coz half the bridge was closed off. we finally got there and stood around for a while then joined the thousands of people waiting to get onto the bridge. we shuffled along and finally got there. it was so funny, coz there was a guy standing there with a microphone talking and next thing we know pia runs off and asks the guy to say hi to chloe so he announced her name over and everyone started cheering and she was sooo embarrassed and it was hilarioussss!!
me n drassinah promised we would stay together, because we r of the same fitness level, and we all started running up the bridge, and it was ok to start and then i felt like i was gonna die, because i knew i hadnt even done 1km yet. me n drass tried but just couldnt run up that bridge. the backs of my lower legs were burning like all fury, and drassinah said hers were too, so we started to walk. the bridge was hellish. it was by far the worst part of the 'race'. i thought i was going to collapse!! when we got to the end it was like a sigh of relief, though we were still in pain, but we knew that there wouldnt be any more hills for at least 9 and a half km. we started taking photos and just having a great time. this was where it started to get fun. we decided that running wasnt fun, it was just painful. so we walked, talked, looked at peoples costumes, and took photos of pretty much everything!
a few random people talked to us, which was cool. and we saw some pretty random and unique costumes. there was even a guy in a mankini!! (it was disgusting coz he was old haha) i think he lost a bet and had to :P. we saw this whole group of clowns and talked to them, and they had bubbles!!! YAY!! hehe
it was the best feeling just walking through streets and seeing how far we could go it was such a great feeling. we finally finished, and we dont know our times yet, they havent uploaded them onto the site yet, but i shall get back to u with that :)
anyway, we went and got our free shirts and bags, went to get some fruit n met up with everyone and went to wait for a taxi. we waited.... and waited.... aaaaannnnnnnnddddd waited.... then it finalllyyyyyy came (after we had all sucked the helium out of our balloons and were laughing at eachothers high pitched voices) and got in. pia... being pia... started singing 'the wheels on the maxi taxi go round and round etc etc' then started saying random things all in that tune. we could not stop laughing. it was the besttttttt day ever.
excepttt that now i am so tired and my legs feel like they r gonna drop off and i have pulled a muscle behind my knee (and it has been hours since i finished). i so dont wanna go to school tomorrow :(
anyway, if u live in brisbane, i DEFINITELY recommend doing it next year! but make sure u take it cruisy if u arent too keen on running, dont try to push urself coz then it isnt fun. oh and make sure u bring a friend OBVIOUSLY.
cyas later!! (by the way the pic is of me n drass somewhere on the gateway bridge haha)
