Tuggeranong Three Peaks

Today:
Distance:  30.1 km
Time: 4 hrs 9 mins 0 secs
Rate: 8' 17" per km
Elevation gain/loss:  1023 metres
Weather: cloudy, temp range 16-20 degrees, humidity 85% down to 65%, wind calm
Week:  73.95 kms
Jan & Year:  419.15 kms in 4 weeks at ave 104.78 kms p.w.

The boys fronted up at my place this morning just 2 days after running the Orroral valley Classic on Thursday. All of us seemed to have recovered well from that, so a challenging climb to the top of Mt Rob Roy shouldn't be a problem.
I had a planned walk/run strategy as I was wearing a 3 kg back pack as well. Mostly walked the steeper up hill, ran the down and just cruised along the flat parts.
The km rate does reflect the fact that we actually went to the trig on Mt Rob Roy which is off the main track, hard to find and rough bush & rocks.
The fire trail to the top of Mt Tuggeranong is also rough these days & steep towards the top. But excellent views from the top and well worth the effort.
To make 3 peaks, we headed to the top of the hill behind Ewen's house. I call it Theodore Hill, but it may have a proper name not known to me.
Back home via the Calwell oval. Little Athletics on the go there. The grass surface is back to having some green colour and nice and soft. It should be good for an interval/tempo session during next week.
Great day out, thanks to Softshoe especially for his company.
