Comments: It was certainly a miserable looking morning with threatening rain which fortunately did not eventuate. Mr B & I met CJ at the Yacht Club and while she ran the whole lake including Kings Avenue Bridge (20km) Mr B & I ran the shorter loop of 16km which measured 15.33km on Gandalf as we lost the satellite for a short distance while running through the trees - yes, there are still a few trees left in the forest! We soon warmed up and it was a good run culminating in an enjoyable coffee and date scones at the Yarralumla Nursery where our friend Jon joined us.
Was your rate only 5.53kph Strewth? Maybe it was a more respectable 5:53 per kilometre?
ReplyDeleteThe West Basin loop is about 15.5k. When they do the 16k race there's an extra bit into BMP.
Thanks Ewen and oops, yes I did mean 5:53 per km. I'll edit that! Looks like Gandalf was almost accurate with the distance after all.
ReplyDeleteLast week I included the Nara Peace Park promontory in the West Basin run, which turned out to be about 16km.
