A reasonable weekend of running but certainly not near enough. However, it was good quality, so distance was not that important. Plenty of hills.
Saturday was a run to top of Mt Rob Roy to get a course measured for our next work bush walk on 2nd Dec. This walk will start at Lanyon shops, head up the easy way to Big Monks, then to top of the mountain, down the southern side to the open paddock and back to Lanyon. Distance if we don't add any more on will be just under 19 kms. A very good, scenic outing, and not too difficult.
The remaining distance made up of getting to Lanyon and back.
Today, I manned the drink station at the Orroral Tracking Station in Namadgi National Park for the AMRA Deep Space Mountain marathon & half marathon.
A perfect spring morning in the valley, cool to start, then warming up nicely. Plenty of kangaroos live down there, and obviously happy to have company for a morning.
The marathoners did 2 laps of 21.1 kms so I saw them twice. The half just once passing by.
During quiet times, I jogged up the road for 350 metres and back again, lost count as to how many times I did this.
Then, as I waited for the last two runners, I ran with Pam out to the drink station at the bridge over the Orroral River.
Packed up and went back to the start/finish line at Honeysuckle Tracking Station and ran out the fire trail to meet the final 2 runners again.
A picture perfect morning, great to see the runners a couple of times, plus enjoy the lovely scenery of the national park.
A beaut weekend in the company of Softshoe on Saturday morning and a big crowd on Sunday. Doesn't get any better than that.
