I'm gonna go with run ok up to the first aid station, struggle from there to the finish with 1 fall.
Actually that was what happened last year, how about run ok up to 30km then start to struggle, with a tumble going down the hill after the second aid station then walk/jog to the finished while being passed by lots of people.
To be honest, I'll be happy as long as I don't drop my banana.

Don't we come in from some other direction to the second aid station this year? From memory it was just before the top of Crap Hill so do we miss that hill this year?

No, we go up crap hill before the aid station then back down after. Runners going both ways = more carnage. Definitely the place to be for photographers.

Yes I'm familiar with being caught on camera at that point. I thought this course was flatter? From the trace on the website I'm guessing it's 47.5km although they've not mentioned it on there.

47.8km & about 200m less climb. We turn left just after the conveyor belt so miss the down up down to Oakley dam then the climb up from the dam, with crap hill the only major climb in the last 20km.
Should be fun.

Does anyone have an ant+ stick I can borrow to upload the route onto my watch (or can I give someone my watch to do it for me??)

I meant to do it last night but forgot so will see if I can do it tonight then if it works we might figure something out although someone else may be closer to you.
