An all in one start at 6am this morning as the Striders were having a 30th anniversary brunch afterwards. So the pace was pretty slow for the first k until people sorted themselves out with who they usually run with.
We started at the Macquarie Park end of Lane Cove National Park instead of the Fullers bridge normal start as we had the brunch on Tunks Hill near the 5k turnaround gate.
Ran from Macquarie Park down along Epping Rd sort off, crossing to Lane Cove West and a long haul up Mowbray Rd to Artarmon. then Chatswood, before doing the roller coaster of hills along the train line past Roseville, Lindfield and Gordon before heading back through some bush behind the Gordon golf course.
We got lost here as we took a wrong turn and did 2 extra ks. What is a STaR without getting lost? Then we ran down to the Weir and the park crossed over and ran 4ks up the Lane Cove course to Tunks Hill to finish.
Pace got quicker eventually, no doubt due to running with CT, Wareham, Binfield and Heyden for most of the run.
Total was 32.3ks in 2:40:02. Average pace of 4:57/k. A good hard STaR for the hills next week at C2S.
