Six Foot Track Marathon 2014 - 11:49
At the start line (fullsize)
|
I lined up for my first run at the Six Foot track Marathon in 2014. Many
ACTRun friends have been doing it for years, this year I managed to get
in and was lining up with them and other friends new to the race to have
a run along the track to Jenolan Caves.
Jane and I had spent a weekend in the Blue Mountains ini the lead up to
the race to get an idea about the run down to Coxs river and also for me
to scope out the finishing stairs in the new TNF100 course. It was
useful to scope out the first 15km of Six Foot, however come race day
things were different (a lot more runners out for one).
As is so often the case I went out too fast and paid the price on the
climb from the river and along the range. However it was still a great
day out and I will be back for more (I did it in 2015, knocking half an
hour off my time and plan to line up again in 2016). My gallery and a
few words from the day are here in my
Six Foot Track Marathon
2014 gallery.
