Met a bunch of other Sydney Striders for the Tourist Trot Star.
Start point was just outside Centennial Park near at the Showground gates.
The run was to be 28.7ks by the map.
Started with the 6:20 starting time group. Supposed to be at 5:30ks.
The run does a lap of the circuit at Centennial park before heading out down Ocean St to Edgecliff. From there we run past Rushcutters Bay, where Action(president) took us on a detour to the Cruising Yacht Club. We met the skipper of the yacht Action has been to Hobart on.
Detour over we run up the hill to Kings Cross and down William st to Hyde Park.
Run through the city down to the Rocks where we go up over the Eastern foot bridge of the Harbour Bridge. Crossed paths with the earlier start groups here. Picked up Brisbane CR Fatbloke down here on holidays.
Run around Blues pt and luna park and then back over the bridge again.
The run then goes along Circular Quay around the Opera House and Mrs Macquaries Pt into Woolloomooloo. We then run towards garden island naval yards and up into the Cross and then back past Aussie Stadium and the SCG to the finish. It's not called the Tourist Trot for nothing.
The group included Action, Mister G, Vat_Man and Horrie.
Horrie and myself ended up losing the group(they were ahead) around Circular Quay and ran on our own from there with Fatbloke until he left at the Boy Charlton pool and we continued to the finish.
The run ended up being 30ks which we did in 2hrs 25mins. Avge of 4:50 per k.
A lot faster than I wanted but pleased to get another 30k run done for Canberra training.
Previous 30k training I did on my own 2 weeks ago was at 5:10k pace. Lots of hills.
