Balmain Bungle STaR 30k

Some unfortunate scheduling as the Bay Run Race was being held this morning around Iron Cove and we run around the bay at the end through the racers. Oh well.

Started at Drumoyne and ran through Birchgrove with an extra bit added as we had a look at the old Caltex site now cleaned up. Then Balmain, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, Lewisham, Dulwich Hill, Hurlstone Park, Canterbury, Ashbury, Ashfield, Summer Hill, Haberfield and back along the Bay through the middle of the race to the finish at Drumoyne.

Only 2 of us did the full long course from the 6:20 group. Bloody wimps tapering for City 2 Surf. I need the long runs for Sydney Marathon so going short was out of the question.

Total was 30.35ks in 2:26.16. Average pace of 4:49 per klm. Great morning for a run. A little chilly at the start but great to run in. Another cloudless day.

Decent pace for a long training run Paul.

See you at the C2S.

I remember that one as a hard one to follow. Good run - are you marathoning this year?

Haven't your friends heard of the Dave Criniti taper?

Sense you're quietly amassing a bit of form Flakey. Blue Dog's form seems to have dropped a little recently so he could be there for the taking on Sunday.
