Beyond the Black Stump Fatass 16ks

Started at the normal time this year of 7am. Was up the front going into the bush as I wanted to avoid a bottle neck on the stairs before the bush. Plus the bush goes single track further along towards the ferry so can get a bit slow. Reached the ferry in 53:04. Caught the ferry over and back just for fun.
The camelbak was put to good use as it was 21 degrees and 94% humidity this morning. My clothes were soaked when I got back to the finish.

Took the bush going back and got stuck behind a group of 5 who must have taken 15 mins to go up the stairs after the single track section along the creek. Only about 700m. Very slow. The bush was slow anyway as the humidity was hurting. CR Brewers drinks near Turner Rd were fantastic as they were ice cold.
Finished in 2:03.12. Including the ferry rides. A great way to start the year.
