The original plan for today was to touch 7 trig points around the Woden/Tuggeranong area. Distance would have been between 50-60 kms.
However, running solo today with weather than was very winterish, and could have rained at any time, I changed the plan.
Low cloud cover would have prevented any views at all from the top of any peak. As well, being alone with not much chance of any one else being up some of the mountains/hills, the safety issue came to mind if something went wrong.
I started from home about 45 minutes later than planned, covered 22 kms around the Woden area before coming back home to ditch the backpack, and get something to eat & drink. The last 20 kms was on very familiar trails around Point Hut & Pine Is. Nothing special but the last 10 kms was a struggle.
Otherwise, happy to get the marathon distance done, rest up tonight and hopefully get all or most of another marathon done on Sunday. A flat course if possible.
