Up early to the Quarry Rd start at Hornsby. Met up with about a dozen runners at the start and we wondered where Horrie and Belinda were. Late, with Horrie sporting a limp and not running.
Headed off down the track in spitting rain which during the morning became progressively heavier but not torrential. I intended to do two laps of the course and ended up running a lap and a half with Sportsman. Had to walk a few of the hills, but not too many as I had to keep up with Sportsman.
After doing the two laps I headed back down the track to the first concreted hill past the bridge and then turned around.
My splits were 1st lap: 69:48, 2nd lap: 70:42. Which meant 2:20:30 after the two laps.
Adding on the extra bit I did, I ended up running 30ks in 2:47:06. Average pace of 5:34 per klm.
Good effort with the steep hills on the Road. Legs felt excellent, must be the recent long hill reps that are starting to kick in. Had to head off to my surf club for some races later in the morning.
Thanks to 2P and Horrie for organising. Those ants at the finish were a menace.

Nice to finally put a face to the name.

It was good weather for the run but those ants really weren't happy we were on their turf!
