We had Guz, PT, Shaun and Mark F for awhile before they all went short. It was left to John Bowe, Paul Sholl and I to hold up the 6:20 name.
Conditions were hell this morning. 22 degrees was ok but 85% humidity which only decreased to 75% by the end of the run. Felt really drained of energy from the start. Almost weakened and use a Gel on a training run.
Starts at Balmoral Beach and we go through Chinamans Beach, across to Clontarf for a 2k loop and back across the Spit Bridge. Through the bush around Beauty Point, and then back on the road through Mosman and on to Primrose Park, Cremorne and Cammeray before we turn at North Sydney oval to head back.
Then it was through Neutral Bay, Cremorne Point, Mosman Bay, Sirius Cove, Taronga Zoo, Bradleys Head, Clifton Gardens, Georges Heights and back down to Balmoral for the finish. John and Paul dropped me in the bush along Bradleys Head but there were plenty out running today.
The 6:30 boys of CT, Fats, Andy and Barts tore past us near Mosman Wharf. They had all gone except CT when I got back.
Total was 31ks in 2:41:18. Average pace of 5:12 per klm. Striders H5 with 10ks of bush and plenty of stairs,and humidity didn't help the speed today.
