Manly Marathon 42ks

Fairy Bower to Narrabeen Lagoon and back. Including a circle around to the far side of the lagoon track. But the bridge wasn't open so had to run back the same way.

Total was 42.2ks in 3:48:23. Average pace of 5:24 per klm.

Last 10k was basically a 6 min per klm shuffle as my Achilles had given up on the way back from Dee Why. It was all about time on feet for Six Foot which helped later.

Jack Carter Cup Soft Sand Race - 10th win

My surf clubs distance event at Palm Beach. Although the run for me was only 1.8ks.

Our swimmer came out first, who passed to the ski paddler still in first, who passed to me.
I did my huge contribution of 1.8ks in 8:57 along the wet sand with the tide coming in. I then passed to the board paddler who had a long paddle for the win.

The board paddler and my 10th win and the swimmer and ski paddlers 9th. We might have to front up for another couple of years to get us all up on double figures. Good fun. Another pair of sun glasses.
 
Stayed for the beers and BBQ afterwards this time. Next year we hopefully get the swimmer and the ski paddler their 10 wins.

Centennial Park & Heartbreak Hill 40ks

Started out a bit late at 6:40am. Lucky it was cloudy this morning so wasn't too bad. Still 85% humidity though.
Ran from the park up to Christison Park at Watson's Bay via Randwick, Waverly and Bondi Junction. Then back along the same route as City 2 Surf but stayed on Old South Head Rd.

Back near the park I did a couple of laps outside around Moore Park to finish for the day.
Slow run and I sprained my ankle a couple of times running on the grass.

Total was 40.34 ks in 3:26:48.
