Slow Walk at Stromlo Forest Park
Today:
Stromlo - distance: 7.9 km in 85' 42" at 10' 51" ave per km
Pine Is. - distance: 2.5 km in 13' 22" at 5' 21" ave per km
Weather: sunny, temp 20 degrees, humidity 60%, NE wind at 25 kmph
Week: 33.75 km
March: 103.25 km
Year: 933.65 km
A gentle walk around the course we are going to use for the end of month monthly handicap. Basically nothing has changed from the original plan, The start / finish line for all events has been moved back by 100 metres, the two short course events stay on the grass track as an out and back event, turning on the flat part near the dam. Gee, it is low on water, the poor ducks were almost walking across instead of swimming.
The long course stays the same, turning near the horse stile on the Uriarra Road, opposite the entrance to the old Deek's Forest Park.
Very happy to see that the site manager has had the long course tracks graded. Provide the horses, mtn bikes or rain doesn't ruin them, the course surface should be one of the best we have ran on for a long time. Plenty of room to overtake, that probably won't be me, just a couple of weeks after SFT. However, we tried to work out the course difficulty factor, not that easy with a few little undulating hills on the return and not many familiar with running on grass.
Back to work for a quick bite of lunch before a short jog down to Pine Is to stand in the cool waters of the Murrumbidgee. Maybe more a nervous precaution that any real problems, but it is very good.
A run home tomorrow at lunch time, may be 6 km will be the last before Saturday morning. Can't wait.
