August 07, 202500:54
00:00:00
getting the um the iconic Sydney Harbor
00:00:01
Bridge shut down for a few hours. Like I
00:00:03
I like I can't imagine that's an easy
00:00:05
thing to do.
00:00:05
>> We we close the Harbor Bridge from 4:00
00:00:07
a.m. till midday. That that is hard to
00:00:09
do. Um but you got so many things to
00:00:11
look at on the course that distract you
00:00:13
on your journey. We go past every single
00:00:15
icon, St. Mary's Cathedral, Lady
00:00:17
McQuary's Chair, the harbor itself, you
00:00:19
know, Centennial Parklands and all of
00:00:21
these beautiful areas of Sydney. And
00:00:22
then of course the Sydney Opera House is
00:00:25
the most special finish line in the
00:00:27
world in my opinion. You know, a lot of
00:00:29
people say to me, "We were worried about
00:00:33
this being a really tough course and it
00:00:36
not being enjoyable at all." And and
00:00:38
nearly all of them, you know, when I
00:00:40
speak to them again, they go, "It wasn't
00:00:41
anywhere near as tough as what I
00:00:43
thought." It it's just a beautiful
00:00:44
journey through a city, a beautiful city
00:00:46
in a in a great country. Um, you know,
00:00:48
and doing something that people love and
00:00:50
and having amazing time.
