‘Gassed' but glorious: Isaac Heyne wins City2Surf ahead of 90,000 runners in dreary conditions
Isaac Heyne, 25, has won the Sydney City2Surf.
The runner from Adelaide beat-out the other 90,000 other runners to cross the line first at Bondi Beach, Sydney, on Sunday.
The city was filled with a colourful and quirky display as runners set off from College Street on the 14 kilometre course.

The event brings runners from across the board, including elite runners and those looking for some spirited exercise, which sold out this year for the second year in a row.
Speaking to Sunrise immediately after the win, Heyne looked surprisingly fresh after his 40 minute and 33 second effort.
Heyne said: 'I'm pretty gassed.
'It's a hard course so just let the pressure value loose.
'(It's a) bloody hard (run). It's nice when you're running by yourself because you can control your effort.
'Sam (Clifford, competitor) is such a class athlete, so to have no idea where he is adds that level of pressure as well.'
Heyne, a champion runner, failed to beat the 1991 record, but looked undeterred.
'I think I beat last year's time by 20 to 30 seconds, so yeah, that's a sign I'm in shape.
'It's really promising. Maybe the record can wait another year.'
Following the race win, Henye said it would be indulging in some fast food.
'I'll go home, have a nap, have some Maccas (McDonald's) and then pick-up my girlfriend from the airport.'
City2Surf road closures/reopening
