Wow - the end of daylight saving was just like opening the fridge door - the light came on and the cold air hit.
For those of you non-Sydney residents who peruse these pages we had our first chilly autumn morning today.
I haven't done a longish run since the hill hop a few weeks back - so I figured it was time to get out there and go a bit longer before the old pins forgot how. I had been planning to do this particular run for a while but between one thing and another I just haven't had the opportunity till today.
The route from my place took me to Cape Cabarita and then along the foreshore to Canada Bay - from there I used a road route to get me to Nield Park where I joined The Bay Run for a lap and then returned home the same way.
I avoid The Bay Run during the week like the plague due to all the traffic and noise - but on a crystal clear cool autumn Sunday morning it reverts back to become a slice of paradise.
About half way into my run on The Bay I detected another Six Foot singlet heading towards me (I was sporting mine as well) long before I recognised the happy face of Johnny Dark as he flashed by me at warp speed, effortlessly greeting me as I wheezed out a stifled "gmornin" - Edit: LOL after reading JD's comment you can see how far gone I already was :-).
Enthused by this encounter with a fellow CR I picked up the pace a bit and managed a pretty nice -ve split for the morning.
All up 22k in bang on 2.05.30 (av 5.42) - pretty happy with that :-)

Good on you 2P a nice solid hitout!
JD was probably a blur moving so fast. You haven't worked hard enough unless some bodily organs malfunction.
On that, I've got a box of lentils earmarked for Kit.
22km seems such a long way! I take it all your bits and pieces behaved..
Sounds like your fully recovered from the 6foot thing 2P. Well done mate. :)
Great you already are back in perfect shape, now using all that good workout in a fantastic performance with no effort!
I love the bay really early when it is almost empty! Hey I have witnessed DJ jet propullsion first hand.... I will have to beg for the recipee tommorow.... I will be finished in no time!
Great run there 2P!
Don't worry the cold weather has hit down south this weekend as well.
Sounds like a good run 2P. Not many hills in that one if I remember correctly.
It's a bit chilly in Canberra too - 12 degrees at 9am - good for the marathoners and 50kers if it stays like this.
how cold is it getting? I am freezing!! i did my first bay run this weekend and hope to repeat it soon - but in a nice slow sensible fashion :)
Very, very close now, 2P!
Ahh, light in the morning and a bit of cold.
I´m actally looking forward to getting back to training in a Sydney Autumn.
Cheers,
Ben
