This morning it was time to say hello to an old friend with the running of the Mt Tennent Trail Run. The SFT running group have done several runs out here over the past months so it is a run I am familiar with. Two Fruits and CJ picked me up early for a race that starts at 7:20AM. Good to beat the heat which as I write this has really started to pick up.

Not a huge field at the start, mostly the die hards. I ran the first section ok. A bit too much walking up to the summit of the hill. I was pleased with the section down the hill and the out section of Bushfolds. Big mistake to walk as I approached the turn around cone. I found it hard to get going again. The final section from the Bushfolds turn off to Apollo Rd was also quite good. So in the wash up I lost time in two sections.

A good soak on the way home. All in all it was a very enjoyable run.
