Kangaroo Valley

Friday

Run home from work at lunchtime with the first section via Cremorne point with Kanser, MC, Durante, Benny St, Dicky H and Clyde. When I left them I worked the hills again, finishing about 16km in 72:20 (after 45:20 at Toyota Garage).

Sunday

Rested Saturday so headed out early on Sunday (only time to fit it in albeit knowing it would aggravate my heel). Ran through Kangaroo Valley village then straight up Berry Mountain. Turned around at 14km on the Garmin then ran back. 14km came at the very top of Berry Mountain - 5kms after the start of the climb. Felt really good though, no doubt due to the rest the day before. It was a fantastic morning on top of the mountain - beautiful sunshine but looking down on the fog resting over the valley. Obviously pretty quick on the way back with 5kms of straight downhill. 2:01:47 for the 28km. Averaged 4:39's on the way out and 4:02's on the way back for 4:21 average all up. Splits went:

5:01, 4:30, 4:24, 4:12, 4:21, 4:05, 4:19, 4:05, 4:16, 5:04, 5:03, 5:22, 5:21, 5:04, 4:05, 3:53, 4:02, 4:17, 3:42, 4:08, 4:04, 3:52, 3:52, 4:02, 4:18, 4:11, 3:58, 4:03.
