Arboretum - new course
Today:Distance: 14.85 km
Time: 86' 59"
Rate: 5' 51" per km
Weather: sun/cloud, temp 12 degrees, humidity 60%, wind cold southerly 25 kmph
Week: 102.1 km, Oct: 50.85 km, Year: 1949.65 km
Went to the Arboretum this morning in cold windy conditions to meet others from the monthly handicap sub committee to find a new course.
The start/finish area used last year is a construction area so not suitable. New course will go on the western side of Dairy Farmer's Hill, follow the power lines for 3.5 km & turn around. Distance of 7 km for the long course & 3.5 kms for the two shorter courses. Map on my FB page & on the vet's website.
Providing the wind doesn't blow too much, it should be a good fun event. It is a little hilly and the last event in the King of the Mountain series.
I'm sure some will find it too hard. Bad luck.

Any chance of making the 3.5k course finish at the 7k turn? I'm desperate for a downhill course so I can attempt 4 minute kilometres :)

The old Bulls head Challenge - almost all downhill except for a few hills after Vanities. Would have done 4 min kms easy.

Yes, remember the 3rd leg of the Brindy Classic relay well - was about 3:45 ks for that last century.
