We gathered at the cross roads and had our biggest turnout for a TMT run (at a quick count I think it was 56). After managing to find runners to take charge of the three groups, we all sped off down the hill and up the valley. The rivers were flowing and the vegetation fresh and green.
The main group was made up of about 16 runners and was managed by Paul, Tamsyn and Natalie – they did just over 16 km in about 2 hours. Kate and Belinda stopped to help some elderly folk who had a member of their group with an injured ankle – thanks for organising help for them. They did an extra loop including the River Walk – which is now open again after the fires.
The medium group was the largest group of about 30 runners. With such a big group – it is inevitable that it would break up into smaller groups. Thanks to Aubrey, Neil and Theo amongst others, for managing this groups. They did over 13 km in 1h35 or slightly longer, taking a single track off the Old Wagon trail.
The slow group consisted of 8 of us – some of us just not feeling great on the day, so we walked the up hills, ran where we could, and took in the scenery. We did just over 11 km, coming in at a similar time to the medium group.
A couple of minor falls and roasties, but a route enjoyed by all.
Congratulations to Natalie and Laura on reaching their 75th runs with us, and to Felicity who joins the 100 club.
