The annual Christmas Eve CR invasion of Quarry Road today and what a hoot it was in the rain - it's the most fun you can have standing up :-)
Lots of the usual suspects there as well as some newbies, but the numbers were down a bit probably because of the rain - though more people started from the Dural side this year which was good because you were constantly seeing other people.
Had a good tussle with Kevin (Lazarus) Tiller (just when he looked dead he would rise again) I went one up on a PB first lap of 1.24 but Kevin ended up winning the day - I got close just after the bridge on the last lap (2k uphill to go) but I just couldn't stick it - the leggies wouldn't run the ups anymore and he beat me by a minute or two - but without doubt the competition meant I had a better result than I otherwise would have..
It was also nice to see fellow bloggers and good friends SFGnome, Go Girl and Jen_Runs (all starting from Dural) out there as well *waves*. I also met blogger Super Flake for the first time who looks like he will blitz his maiden Six Foot - and another first time meeting of blogger Sparkie too.
Spud - you are a machine mate - nuff said.
I've only mentioned bloggers and not all the CR's because I'm bound to miss some out but it was really great to be out there with all of you lot today.
We had a nice little chat at the end and a couple of drinks which despite the ants was the perfect way to end the run.
Unfortunately Horrie the original organiser of this great training run was unable to run today but still provided an esky of drinks for everyone - thanks mate - and BTW Belinda had a blinder.
As for me - I'm extremely happy with today - a one lap PB of 1.24.xx and a huuuuuge (nearly 15 minute) course PB of 2.59.10!
So on that happy note - Merry Christmas everyone :-)

Nice PB - well done! All your hard work certainly is paying off. Having 2 goregous girls to chase of course didn't hurt either ;-)
You are certainly running yourself back into some form 2p. A 15 minute PB sums it up. Although the conditions were a little more suited to faster running than they were last year. Hope you and the family have a great Christmas and New Year.
Another great run! Have a good Xmas.
nice run mate - like jen says - nothing surprising about it cause you been working your arse off (literally).
have a fabbo christmas!!!!

Good to finally meet you 2P. Great run by yourself to knock 15 mins off your 2lap PB. No blitzing by myself at SixFoot, I'm only aiming for 5hrs. Th real aim is sub 3hr at Canberra. Merry Christmas mate and hope to see you maybe at the secret O Runner training camp.
Merry Christmas to you 2P!
Thanks for your support. Hope you and your family have a beaut Christmas.
What a brilliant chrissie present to yourself Scott! You've worked hard for that one. Well done.
And Merry Christmas!
Well done! Hope you had a great xmas.
Just read your 1997 SFT exploits - it was a great read. And you did it on 8 weeks training! I'm impressed!
Excellent morning, wasn't it! Good to see you, if only briefly (though repeatedly). Have a good break and I'll see you back at something soon.
