Trail running - MR, 9 Dec 06

The last time i set foot in Macritchie (MR) was during PA training, way back in 1997. Didn't really like running on trail, tend to be overly concerned for my ankles. But with Ultramarathon looming, i decided to give MR another chance, or should i say try.

Balasing agreed to show me the 10.5km trail, but the night before, he had a fight with his stomach, and the stomach won. So Dreamrunner led the run, with Fennel, SV, Kayano, Cokiee and me following behind. Commando did his own run.
The 10.5km stretched from canopy-covered rocks/gravel/muddy trails, road, boardwalk and golf track. We made a pit-stop at the ranger station before heading towards the golf course, then back towards the Lornie trail (where cross-country runs were held during secondary school days). Reached the start/end point at about 1hr 10mins, passing Brokie and family along the way.

Excellent run and route. Need to do this more often.

Shoe: Adizero SN Orange (too soft for trail but decided to wear this before disposing after the Ultramarathon)
Distance: 10.5km
