The venue for the next monthly running handicap is the National Arboretum, providing there is no rain in the lead up week. Otherwise, Plan B will be enacted.
Inspection today on the proposed course very similar the one used a couple of years ago that follows the fence line on the western side.
It's a bit hilly, so I don't expect Ewen to front up given his sore quads & legs from last Saturday on Mt Majura.
Long course is a good one and a good middle marker should do well if they can handle the undulating nature of the trails. There a few flat parts to rest, even the down is testing. Gonna love it, if I don't do something really silly the day before, like 50 kms over mountains. Probably will, so no chance at a medal, again.
