Manly Hardcore Posse

Ran down to the ABC Pool shortly after 6am to meet Macca, CT, Clarkey, Quentin, Andy, Ben, Jamie and Erika for our 35k'er, sweeping up Elle en route shortly after Dee Why.  In short, the creme de la creme of the HuRT Squad.  

We gave strict instructions to Macca to keep the pace at 4:30.  It was like trying to tame a wild stallion.  He was champing at the bit to press on the whole way, the poor fella.  After a few about turns just as the we seemed to approach a nice stretch of trails, we started heading back home.  Then in Dee Why Clarkey suddenly puts his foot down and gaps us all by miles.  We picked the pace up over the final 5km to finish averaging 4:17's, but with the final 10km in 40mins.

35km all up.  Lovely run feeling good.
