Future of the Brindabella Classic

Today:
Distance: 17.65 km
Time: 93' 43"
Rate: 5' 18" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 23 degrees, humidity 50%, NW wind at 40 kmph
Week: 100.85 km
December: 338.05 km
Year: 4356.3 km

An after midnight finish at work combined with rain during the night and morning made a decision to sleep in and not go to Molonglo this morning. Five or six brave souls were there in the rain. The rain finally stopped mid morning, but the wind hasn't and it is still blowing the cream out of the coffee.
The morning stuck inside did give me the chance to put my opinion in writing to the ACT cross country club on the future of the Brindabella Classic. The committee just need to get behind the event, give it some publicity and a future for it will be there. It has been going for 20 years, a set back with the course after the bush fires, but that is now behind it.
The sun came out after lunch, I needed just under 17 km today to get to 100 for the week. The original plan was for around 33 km today over Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura, so to even get a run in today was a bonus. I will now do a long run tomorrow.
Today, a flat run down to Pine Is, along the river track to Point Hut, back across the paddocks, move a few kangaroos out of the way and back home. Plenty of water around, the river is flowing nicely and the paddocks are wet under foot.
