km: for the weekend 27, for last week 60, this week 10 so far
Yes I made it back safe and sound from my adventures in the countryside on the weekend. You can all breathe a sigh of relief.
For those of you who missed my last missive I planned to run from Inverloch to Venus Bay on Saturday. True to my word, I set off from the roundabout at the edge of town in Inverloch at about 2pm for my “25k” run which subsequently turned out to be 27.
The first 22k into Tarwin Lower were quite comfortable, and quite strong. I had to keep an eye out for traffic, upset cows, snakes and dead animals on the side of the road, but this was all achieved with some aplomb.
There was a particularly nasty hill at about 17k which conveniently had a cemetary at its peak. I did consider checking in (it was a really nasty hill) but kept going, mainly because my mobile had no reception. I couldn’t perish without a last text message….
A brief stop in Tarwin Lower for a drink and to scare the locals and then the last 5k was an easy trot. So all up, it was 27k in about 1hr 50, which some quick arithmatic on the back of a coaster says is just over 4 minute ks.
