Homebush Hustle STaR 30ks

Started with the temp at 11 degrees and 84% humidity and finished with 19 degrees and 57% humidity.
The run started at Concord West and then went through Homebush and the Olympic precinct, through Newington, Silverwater, across to Meadowbank and back across the Parramatta River again.
Then through Rhodes, Mortlake, Breakfast Point, Cabarita and Concord and back to the finish.
Hard, fast run with plenty of concrete and sun. Only three of the 6:20am group did the full journey including one of the Sydney Marathon 3hr pacers.

Total was 30.2ks in 2:14.20. Average pace of 4:26 per klm. This run seems to be fast a lot of the time as 2 years ago before Sydney I went round in 4:22/k pace.

Next week is Sneak preview STAR. Which is basically the Sydney Marathon course starting from North Sydney though and without going across Darling Harbour. 35k total.

Another good one Paul.

Hope you're not following the blue line next week. Could be dodgy going over the Harbour Bridge.

I'll look out for you on the 20th, Paul. Hope the sun is up for the early start!
