It was a nice morning, weather wise, for the running of the Mt Majura Three Peaks. A little warmth in the air and a cover of cloud. A race plan of setting a pace that I would be comfortable with at Deep Space in two weeks time.

I started out at a steady pace knowing the first hill to the top of Mt Majura can kill your legs if you go too fast. I passed Pam Muston on the way down the other side.

A good run to the drink station near the gun club and then on to Mt Pleasant. Pam passed me on the uphill but I used her as a pacer and stuck with her until we got back to the gun club drink station. She got away from me on the Mt Ainslie uphill.

I ran Ainslie with no one visible in front or behind. I finally saw a few in front at the Ainslie/Majura saddle going into the pine trees. I still had a bit in reserve so I put on the pace to catch them. I reeled in a few places before the finish.

A finishing time of 2h 35min. A fair effort given I had something left at the finish.

In the wash up I guess I achieved what I set out to do, see if I have enough hill legs to be able to run the full 44km at Deep Space.

Another enjoyable run by John Harding and his band of volunteers.
