The annual running of the Tour De Mountain. The last local race before Christmas and a great turn out as has been the experience for most of this years runs.

No real expectations for the run. I was very tired when Two Fruits picked me up and I could have easily gone back to sleep for a few extra hours.

I knew the start would be quick, and it was. I just hung in there until we crossed the road and made our way up to Mt Taylor. I felt good and ran/walked really strongly up/over/and back to the Farrer drink station.

It was at this point that I started playing a game I haven't played for a while. Pick a runner in front and see how quickly you can catch them. Then pick the next.

It worked a treat and together with some reckless downhill running (3:36 on the Garmin) I had a great run. I felt like I had plenty left for another 20+km.

A terrific event and full credit to JH and all who volunteered.

Merry Christmas to all. Hope to see you out on the trails next year!
