I arrived at the bay early as I had to park my car near the finish so I could go off to work straight after. I was confronted by a very strong south-westerly wind with white caps on the bay. As we run the 1st 3k towards the South I decided I wouldn't bother with going hard today.
I did a 3k warmup around to the start to join the masses awaiting the Tiger Angel starting gun.
Started with the 19min group which included Colin and Nando but I had already decided to just cruise around the bay. So did just that being passed by the other groups near the 3k marker and promptly rolling to the finish with a 20:54. Saved myself for another day as I see it.
Ran the 1k back to the car to go to work for the day. Checked the weather while at work and we had wind speed today of 10-15knots with gusts 25-30 knots. Pretty windy.

Hey Flake - I missed you today - not stalking you (like Miners) or anything but I wouldn't have minded saying "g'day".
Nice job getting the challenge in before work.
No point doing anything silly when you've got the Dog on toast.
Probably a good idea to keep the powder dry Flake. 3m/sec winds are not fun.
Another original and unique Pauline classic for inclusion in his upcoming book "A Thousand Excuses for Slow Running" ...
"it was too windy".
Yeah I saw that Six Foot bloggy thing you've got happening too. I loved the post about 'sub 3-hour Canberra Marathon in 2006' - that was a doozie ... another 'F' on the report card.
Also 'sub 5-hours at Six Foot 2007'.... jeez, I hope it's not windy on the day!
