Joined on Saturday by Softshoe & Kerrie M for a long run in the Namadgi National Park. As we went to the top of Mt Tennent last week, we decided to leave that part out, and started our journey from the gate to the fire trail on Apollo Road.
From there, it was up to Bushfold Flats, on the AAWT to Honeysuckle, and then over the range to the Orroral River bridge & return the same way.
There is more climbing in this than I would have thought. However, the start is fairly steep, walking at times and the climb back from the Orroral valley to Honeysuckle is definitely walk at times.
A very cold start, then it warmed up to a nice sunny day. Lucky, there is plenty of shade on this course except the open km of Bushfold.
Good solid day out, felt Ok all the way with a couple of really good patches when I managed to get some good running done.
Motor racing on 4 wheels & 2 wheels today, didn't leave the chair all day. That's a rest day !
But, it means I need to knuckle down this week.
