Mt Rob Roy for the 55th Time
Friday:
Purpose: easy jog
Distance: 12.15 km
Time: 73' 01"
Rate: 6' 00" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 18 degrees, humidity 35%, wind NW 15 kmph
Today:
Purpose: strength run
Distance: 29.35 km
Time: 3 hrs 48 mins 16 secs
Rate: 7' 47" per km
Altitude gain/loss: 825 metres
Weather: sunny, temp range 9-17 degrees, humidity 60% down to 30%, wind strong NW 10-40 kmph with gale force at 60 km up high
Week: 83.95 km, Sept: 225.15 km, Year: 3994.25 km
Friday an easy jog home and back to work at lunch time with 6 minutes standing in the cool water at Pine Is. All good after rest day on Thursday due to very cold & strong winds.
Today, another run to Mt Rob Roy. This time with Kerrie M & meeting Softshoe behind Theodore. A nice day to start, not cold & with light winds.
However, as the climbing started from the Theodore substation, the wind started to get strong from the west, a little bit assisting.
The downhill from the top was a little protected but then it hit with the force of a gale along the open paddock & up to the trig on Big Monks. It was holding on to not get blown over up there. We guessed at 60 kmph, but certainly could have been more as at one stage we came to a dead stop due to the wind against us.
A good back up effort today considering only 3 days before going the same course.
Back up again tomorrow with the monthly handicap so hopefully will be Ok just to finish the hilly course on O'Conner & Bruce ridge.

I'd be worried about getting hit on the noggin by a gum branch in high winds up there. There was a big tree down on a footpath in Wanniassa. Anyway, well done. You're about 50 ahead of me.
