Middle Harbour Picnic STaR 29ks

Only the 4 of us this morning with Mark S, Al and Fats. With only Fats having done a half last weekend and the rest of us the Marathon for training. We are in fact all doing Melbourne so we could get a few "Go Striders" down in Mexico.

The run starts in Roseville and has a mean uphill for almost 3ks through Killarney Heights and Forestville before we run down along Wakehurst Parkway through a little bit of bush to Seaforth.

From there it is across the Spit Bridge and up hill to the top of Awaba St and down the steep downhill to Balmoral Beach. Then along the flat before we go up hill to Geirges Heights and back through Mosman shops.

Then along to Cremorne where we have a nice uphill again to Maccas and then back through Cammeray with more hills. Then on through Willoughby and Middle Cove to the finish at Roseville.

I think the run is H4 on the hills scale and with new Half PB man Fats leading it was hard work for me anyway.

Total was 29.6ks in 2:23:44. Average pace of 4:51 per klm. Not too bad with the long hills.
