Ten Bridges reversed - 33k - 2h45 week 7 of 15

Got up early (for me) to meet Silverfox at 6.30 am at Stanmore station. Basically ran from there to Piper st Annandale to hook into Striders Ten Bridges run. This run has a H3 rating and is fairly hilly including quite a few stairs at various locations. Probably one of Striders more scenic runs taking in lots of near harbour foreshore including at least 10 bridge crossings.
Aim for today for both Nick and I was to be on the feet for 2.45 - which we did covering a bit more than 33k at 5.0 min/k pace this included all drink stops and traffic lights, so I guess we were running quite a bit faster if you exclude stops. Felt really comfortable and an excellent confidence boost for Sydney in 8 weeks time.
Nick is concerned his speed isn't back to where it was but I can tell you, his fitness and strength are - we really just cruised it today - chatting all the way.

May even do this run again next weekend I enjoyed it that much !

Total for the week 110k.
