Manly to Narrabeen Lake 26ks

23 degrees and 45k wind gusts.
Slept in this morning so missed doing the Striders run at Mosman.
Ventured out this afternoon with a howling southerly blowing and tourists everywhere along Manly beach. Copped 5ks of having to dodge and weave through human traffic.

Ran from Fairy Bower along the coast up to Queenscliff, Freshwater, Curl Curl over the hill to Dee Why, through the flat part of Cromer until I ran along the bush track which was nice and shady. Probably slowed me downed a bit for the 4ks of that even though it is flat.

Turned around at Jamison Park where they have toilets. Was pretty shady on the way back until I got to Dee Why with the 9ks back from there into the strong head wind and not much shade and then the people along the beach from Queenscliff to Manly.

Needed a cold shower to get the body temp down afterwards.

Was 26.5ks in 2:07:38. Average pace of 4:49 per klm.
