Have to love a star map that says "The Full Catastrophe!" on the instructions. That just means a really hard run.
Starts at Newport Beach and goes straight up to Bilgola Plateau via the inland route. That meant straight up for 2ks with John Binfield and Nigel streeting me up the hills. Finally get some down but then it is up and down through Clareville on the Pittwater side before we reach the flat of Careel Bay and Avalon.
Then it was up to Palm Beach along the Pittwater side, where we continued past the golf course and did a run on the sand up to the lighthouse. Too many stairs here.
Back down and the race for home was on via the Ocean side of Palm beach, Whale beach, Avalon, Bilgola to the finish.
Hasn't been run since 2009 apparently. Bit of a mystery on whether it is H4 or H5.
Total was 29.2ks in 2:33:31. Average pace of 5:15 per klm. Very slow so I'm going for H5.
Drove up to Palmy afterwards as it was a great day for a swim. water still warm at 20 degrees.
