A few very short runs during the week, then a long run at night. Very unusual to be running at night when the normal weekend training is on a Saturday morning.
But, I needed to check out the Canberra Centenary Trail for markings at night in readiness for the AnzacUltra in April next year.
Seems the directional arrows in place are not very reflective at night. Navigation will best using a very bright head lamp and good local knowledge.
Trip wasn't very fast. I had the company of Billy, who is in the final stages of getting ready for the 6 day event in Adelaide at the end of the month. We walked at times & run when possible. We also had plenty of stops to check the course markings, or lack thereof.
Managed to get through without any problems. Hip just tender at the finish so some treatment when home. All Ok today.
